ABSTRACT

An aerodynamic performance prediction model for the Darrieus

turbine has been constructed. The primary purpose was to allow

reasonable prediction of aerodynamic blade forces and moments to

be made. Previous aerodynamic models based on simple momentum

principles are inadequate for predicting blade loading. In

addition, accurate overall performance predictions for large tip

to wind speed ratios cannot be made with the simple momentum

models. Detailed prediction of the near wake structure is also

within the capability of the present model.

Results were obtained from the present vortex model for the

one-, two- and three-bladed rotors operating at various tip to

wind speed ratios to study the effect of number of blades and

tip to wind speed ratios on the rotor performance. Power coef­

ficients predicted by the present vortex model were compared to

the vortex model due to Fanucci and the simple momentum or

"strip theory". In addition, experimental results were used to

compare with predictions obtained from the analytical model in

an attempt to validate the analytical model.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Wind power is one of the unlimited, non-polluting sources of

energy and it is available in many regions throughout the world.

One of the more economically viable wind machines that converts

such power into a usable form is the Darrieus turbine which was

invented in 1920 by G. Darrieus, a Frenchman. This machine was

subsequently re-invented in 1970 by scientists with the National

Research Council of Canada.

In recent years, several aerodynamic performance prediction

models have been formulated for the Darrieus turbine. The models

of Tempi in [1], Wilson and Lissaman [2], Strickland [3], and

Shankar [4] have all been used to predict the performance of three-

dimensional Darrieus rotors. Each of these models (the latter three

being virtually identical) are based upon equating the forces on the

rotor blades to the change in streamwise momentum through the rotor.

The overall performance can be predicted reasonably well with these

models under conditions where the rotor blades are lightly loaded

and the tip to wind speed ratios are not high.

1.1 Purpose of Research

While these models are moderately successful at predicting over­

all performance trends they are totally inadequate from several stand­

points. Major deficiencies associated with these simple momentum

models can be summarized as follows: 1

Page 13: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

2

*Accurate performance predictions for large tip to wind

speed ratios cannot be made because the momentum equations

used in these models become invalid. This situation

deteriorates with increasing rotor solidity.

•Predicted blade loads are most probably ^ery inaccurate

since these models (1) assume a quasi-steady flow

through the rotor, (2) cannot distinguish between

1, 2 or 3 bladed rotors of constant solidity and

blade Reynolds' number, (3) assume a constant stream-

wise velocity as a function of streamwise position in

the vicinity of the rotor, and (4) assume that the

flow velocities normal to the freestream direction

are zero.

*It is doubtful that meaningful information concerning

the near wake structure of the rotor can be obtained

from the present models. This information may be

important with regard to the placement of rotors

in close proximity to each other and in making

assessments of the environmental impact of large

scale rotors on downstream areas.

It goes without saying that these deficiencies hamper the

design process associated with the Darrieus turbine. It is also

apparent that accurate predictions concerning the aerodynamic

Page 14: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

performance, the structural and vibratory characteristics, and the

environmental impact of the Darriues turbine becomes increasingly

important as the scale of the turbine is increased to large sizes.

Alteration of the simple momentum models to alleviate the

listed objections presently appears to be hopeless. On the other

hand, the development of a model based on a vortex lattice analysis

can potentially eliminate all of the list objections of the present

prediction models.

1.2 Previous Work

Several vortex models for vertical axis wind machines have

been developed in the past. Models which typify previously

developed vertical axis vortex models are those due to Fanucci [5],

Larsen [6], and Holmes [7].

In reference [5] Fanucci presents a two-dimensional vortex

model which is applicable to straight bladed rotors of large

height to diameter ratios with unstalled blades. A transient

analysis is formulated which allows one to simulate unsteady free-

stream conditions and to observe the development of the rotor wake.

A distribution of vortices along the blade camber line is used

to model the potential flow near the airfoil. This in turn allows

one to determine the pressure distribution along the airfoil sur­

face as well as the lift forces acting on the blade. This repres­

entation of the airfoil is only valid for unstalled conditions.

Page 15: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

Larsen's cyclogiro, unlike the Darrieus turbine, has blades

which articulate and which in fact "flip" twice per revolution.

The blades are articulated such that strong vortices are shed from

the airfoils only when they are flipped (the Darrieus turbine blade

sheds vortices continuously). Larsen performs a steady state

analysis by assuming a fully developed wake. This wake structure

is subsequently modified by an iterative process which ensures that

blade-wake interactions are self consistent. Airfoil lift and

drag forces are calculated based on the local airfoil angle of

attack.

The vortex model presented by Holmes in reference [7] is

applicable to a vertical axis wind turbine with straight blades

and a large height to diameter ratio. The analysis is strictly

valid for rotors which have a large number of unstalled blades

operating at large tip to wind speed ratios. The assumption of

a large number of blades allows the unsteady flow problem to be

replaced by a steady flow problem.

1.3 Relationship of the Project to the Present State of the Art

While none of the previously developed vortex models are valid

for stalled conditions, they do provide valuable insight into

concepts which can be used in this two-dimensional vortex model

for the Darrieus turbine. Thus, the present work is simply a

logical extension of previous work which requires that aerodynamic

stall be considered in the model. Both Fanucci [5] and Holmes [7]

Page 16: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

assumed that the rotor blades were always at angles of attack

sufficiently small that aerodynamic stall was not encountered.

Larsen's cyclogiro [6] has articulating blades which operate at

angles of attack which are less than the stall threshold levels.

1.4 Research Objectives

The major research objective was to formulate an analytical

model for the straight-bladed Darrieus turbine of large height

to diameter ratio using a vortex lattice method.

The analytical model was to be formulated such that it

possesses the following features or capabilities:

*The overall rotor performance for a wide range of rotor

solidities and for all normal tip to wind speed ratios

was to be accurately predicted.

*The aerodynamic blade forces and moments were to be

accurately predicted as a function of rotor position.

*The rotor wake was to be described in some detail.

Careful attention was to be given in formulating a numerical

solution scheme which will require a minimum amount of computer

time. Results from this model will be compared in some detail

with results from the simple momentum models. In addition, the

experimental results will be used to compare with predictions

obtained from the analytical model in an attempt to validate the

analytical model.

CHAPTER II

AERODYNAMIC MODEL

Based on the aforementioned research objectives, the analyti­

cal model is to be constructed so as to require only moderate

computational time while adequately describing forces on the

airfoil blade sections. The analytical model which will be des­

cribed herein is expected to meet these requirements.

The production and convection of vortex systems springing from

the individual blades will be modeled and used to predict the

"induced velocity" or "perturbation velocity" at various points in

the flow field. The induced or perturbation velocity is simply

the velocity which is superimposed on the undisturbed wind stream

by the wind machine. Having obtained the induced velocities, the

lift and drag of the blade can be obtained using airfoil section

data.

2.1 Vortex Model

A simple representation of the vortex system associated with

a blade element is shown in Figure 1. The airfoil blade element

is replaced by a "bound" vortex filament sometimes called a "sub­

stitution" vortex filament [8] or a "lifting line" [9]. The use

Page 18: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

Fiaure 1. Two Dimensional Vortex System

Page 19: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

8

of a single line vortex to represent an airfoil segment is a simpli­

fication over the two dimensional vortex model of Fanucci [5] which

uses three to eight bound vortices positioned along the camber line.

The use of a single bound vortex represents the flow field ade­

quately at distances greater than about one chord length from the

airfoil [8]. It can be argued on several bases that this is probably

an adequate representation.

As indicated in this figure, the strengths of the shed vortices

have changed on several occasions. On each of these occasions a

spanwise vortex is shed whose strength is equal to the change in

the bound vortex strength as dictated by Kelvin's theorem [10]. In

terms of the circulation around a closed contour, Kelvin's theorem

can be written as:

DI = 0 ( ) Dt

Thus if the contour encloses both the airfoil and its wake it

is seen that any change in the bound circulation must be accompanied

by an equal and opposite change in circulation in the wake. The

center of each shed vortex is convected in the fluid at the local

fluid velocity.

The fluid velocity at any point in the flow field is the sum

of the undisturbed wind stream velocity and the velocity induced

by all of the vortex filaments in the flow field. The velocity

induced at a point in the flow field by a single vortex filament

can be obtained from the Biot-Savart law which relates the induced

Page 20: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

velocity to the filament strength. For an arbitrarily shaped

filament of strength r and length Z, the induced velocity V ^t P

a point p not on the filament is given by [9]

w _ r / r x d l , ,

Here r is the position vector of points on the filament with res­

pect to the point p and r is the magnitude of the position vector.

Upon referring to the case shown in Figure 2, equation (2) can be

written as:

^p " ^ 4 W ^^°^®1 •" °^^2^ (2)

where the unit vector e is in the direction of r x dt. For an

infinitely long vortex filament, the angles 6, and e^ approach

zero. The velocity at a point p is then given by

\ - U (4)

It should be noted that if the point p should happen to lie on

a vortex filament that equation (4) yields indeterminate results

since e cannot be defined and the magnitude of V is infinite. The P

velocity induced by a straight vortex filament on itself is in fact

equal to zero [11] and equation (4) is valid only for points that

lie outside of the "vortex core". The velocity induced by a

straight vortex filament on a point within the vortex core is

10

vortex filament

Page 22: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

11

proportional to the distance from that point to the vortex filament

and reaches a maximum value at the edge of the vortex core.

Although experiments performed by Ciffone and Orloff [12] show

that the velocity profile tends to be like that given in Figure 3,

it does not appear that there have been other analytical or exper­

imental works that quantitatively give good prediction of the max­

imum induced velocity. If one assumes that the maximum core velocity

V is the velocity associated with the vortex sheet springing from

the airfoil an estimate of V can be made. By referring to Figure

4 and the definition of circulation [9], the following expression

can be obtained

3r = 2V 3x (5) c

or

V = 1 — (6) c 2 ax ^ '

where V represents the maximum induced velocity in the vortex, c

For spanwise vortices shed from any given blade element

it ~ ^ (7) 3x RAe ^ '

where r is the spanwise shed vortex strength and RAe is the dis-s

tance through which the blade element moves between vortex shed-

dings. Combining equations (6) and (7), the maximum velocity can

be given as:

Referring again to Figure 3, the vortex core can be obtained

by equating V in (4) to the maximum velocity V given in (8): p c

h, = ^ (9)

Thus the velocity induced by a straight vortex filament on a

point within the vortex core is given by:

\ - MK-^ no)

In order to allow closure of the proposed vortex model, a

relationship between the bound vortex strength and the velocity

induced at a blade must be obtained. A relationship between the

lift L per unit span on a blade and the bound vortex strength r

is given by the Kutta-Joukowski law [10] as

L = pU^r (11)

where p is the fluid density, and Uj is the local relative fluid

velocity in the plane of the airfoil section. The l i f t can also

be formulated in terms of the airfoil section l i f t coefficient C,

as:

L = | P C , C U / (12)

where C is the airfoil chord length. Combining equations (11) and

(12) the bound vortex strength can be given as

r = Ic.cu, (13)

Page 26: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

15

Equation (13) provides the required relationship between the bound

vortex strength and the induced velocity at a particular blade

since the lift coefficient as well as the velocity U^ are functions

of the induced velocity. In other words, if the induced velocity

(produced by all of the vortex filaments in the flow) at an air­

foil is known, the local velocity vector can be obtained. The air­

foil angle of attack can then be computed using the local velocity

vector, the blade velocity, and the blade orientation. The lift

coefficient can then be obtained from airfoil data. Equation (13)

can then be used to calculate the bound vortex strength for the

blade in question. It should be noted that the effects of aero­

dynamic stall are automatically included using the method.

2.1.1 Lattice point notation

Vortex centers are represented by "lattice points" in this

model. Therefore, a lattice point numbering convention is required.

All variables associated with a particular lattice point or vortex

center such as lattice point coordinates and velocities as well

as vortex strengths bear double subscripts. The first subscript

denotes the blade from which the lattice point originated. The

second subscript denotes the time step at which the vortex originated.

2.1.2 Rotor geometry

The rotor geometry is very simple. By referring to Figure 5

the following relationships for points on the blade quarter chord

line can be obtained.

17

I = - sin [^BN-D + 9] (14)

I = - cos [^BN-D + e] (15)

Here NB is the number of blades making up the rotor while BN is the

blade number in question.

2.1.3 Induced velocities at lattice points

The velocity induced at a point within the vortex core by an

infinitely long straight vortex filament has been given previously

in equation (10) as

Vp = ^2SZe (10)

For points that are outside of the vortex core, the induced

velocity has been given in equation (4) as

- > • r \ - ^m ^'^ Using the notation of Figure 6, the unit vector e in the

->•

direction of V can be replaced with the following results: P

" ^ P points inside vortex core 2(RA0)'^

" ^ A points outside vortex core 2TTh

The total perturbation velocity at a lattice point V(i,j)

is obtained by summing the induced velocities from all other vor­

tices in the flow. Using lattice point notation this can be

written as:

NB NT

v(i,j) = J2 £ \^^^^^ (1 ) k=l il=l

2.1.4 Blade element bound vorticity

From equation (13) it is seen that the bound vorticity is a

function of the airfoil section lift coefficient and the local

relative velocity. The lift coefficient is in turn a function of

the local airfoil angle of attack. As a step toward obtaining the

relative velocity vector and airfoil angle of attack, a blade

coordinate system is set up as shown in Figure 7. The unit vectors

c and n represent the positive chordwise and normal directions

respectively. These vectors can be formulated by

c = cos0n t - sinOg t (18)

"n = -sineg T - cose„ k

Here the unit vectors in the x and z directions are denoted by i

and t respectively.

The relative velocity of the blade element with respect to the

oncoming wind stream is given by

UR = (UOO + U + U.pCoseg)t + (W-U^sineg)l< (19)

where U^ is the undisturbed freestream velocity in the x direction and

U and W are the perturbation velocities in the xandzdirections res­

pectively. The tangential speed of the blade element is given by Uj.

The magnitude of Un is given by

UR = IK + U + U.^cos9g)2 + (W - U^sineg)2]^/2 (2QJ

2.1.5 Vortex shedding and convection of wake lattice points

Vortices are shed from each blade element in such a way so as

to satisfy equation (1). Vortices which are shed during any given

time period can be related to the change in bound vorticity with

respect to time and position along the blade. Referring to the

diagram of Figure 8, the spanwise shed vortex strengths can be

written as

r^(i, NT-1) = rg(i, NT-1) - rg(i, NT) (23)

23

The initial velocity of a lattice point which is being shed

from a blade element is assumed to be equal to the sum of the per­

turbation velocity at the blade and the freestream velocity. During

the first time increment, after leaving the "lifting line", the

lattice point travels a distance given by:

Ax(i,j) = [U(i,j) + UjAt (24)

Az(i,j) = [W(i,j)]At

During successive time increments, an "open" or explicit inte­

gration formula is used in calculating the distance traveled by a

given lattice point.

Ax(i,j) = [|u(i,j) - ij(i,j) + UjAt t=NT ^ r t=NT-l "•

Az(.i,j) = [|w(i,j) - 4l(i,j) ]At

2.1.6 Blade loading and rotor performance

Two aerodynamic forces are considered in the present analysis.

The first is the tangential force per unit blade length F' acting

along the chord line of a blade element in the direction of motion.

The second is the normal force per unit blade length F' acting in

the direction of the unit normal vector shown in Figure 7. A com­

plete set of two-dimensional aerodynamic forces would also include

a pitching moment about the spanwise axis. In general, this moment

is small and is thus neglected. The forces F^ and F^ can be

expressed in terms of the fluid density p, the airfoil chord length

C, and the relative velocity U of the fluid moving onto the air­

f i c ien t for the entire rotor during a single revolution is given by

where NTI is the number of time increments per revolution of the

rotor.

2.2 Numerical Analysis

The numerical analysis closely follows the concepts presented

in the previous section. In all cases, variables are non-dimen-

sionalized to provide economy in utilization of the resulting com­

puter codes. Velocities are normalized with U^, distances with R, 2

area with R , time with R/U and circulation with RU_. Force, ' 00 CO

torque and power are non-dimensionalized as indicated in section

2.1.

2.2.1 Computational procedure

The general procedure requires that calculations be made at

small time increments until a periodic solution is obtained.

Initially there is no wake structure and it is only as the wake

develops sufficiently that a periodic solution is obtained.

Based on Fanucci's experience with the two-dimensional vortex

model [5], it appears that the wake must propagage 3 or 4 rotor

Page 37: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

26

diameters downstream for a periodic solution to be achieved. An out­

line of the computational procedure is given in Figure 9.

The computation is initialized by setting the bound vor­

ticity in each blade element to zero. The perturbation velocities

at each blade element are then calculated based on all of the vortex

filaments in the flow using equation (16). These velocities will

initially be equal to zero since no wake structure exists and since

the bound vorticity has been set equal to zero. The bound vorticity

is then calculated for each blade element using equation (22)

and the last calculated value of the induced velocity. This pro­

cess is repeated in order to correct the predicted values of the

induced velocities and bound vorticities. The next step is the

calculation of blade element performance (torque and power output).

These values are output at this point along with the induced

velocities at each blade element. To assist in comparing the ana­

lysis with the experiment, calculation of velocities and positions

of solid particle markers placed in the flow are made and output

at this point. The next major step is to recalculate the posi­

tion of all the wake vortex filaments using equations (24) and (25).

Prior to this step, however, velocities at each wake lattice point

must be calculated. Time is incremented and new shed vortices

are created using equation (23). At the end of a preselected number

of time increments, velocities at selected fixed points in the wake

are calculated and output along with the location and velocities

of wake lattice points. If a complete revolution has been completed

2.2.2 VDART2 code

The VDART2 computer code was written using the V^ortex method

of solution for the DARrieus Turbine in 2, dimensions as outlined

previously. The program consists of a main program and twelve

subroutines including two subroutines that are used to calculate

velocities at selected fixed points in the wake as well as velo­

cities and locations of solid particle markers to assist in com­

paring the analysis with the experiment. While no attempt is made

to discuss the program in detail, the general features of the

input-output characteristics will be given along with a listing

of the program.

The turbine configuration is input in terms of the number of

blades NB, the chord to radius ratio C/R, and the rotor height

to radius ratio H/R. Airfoil section data at a selected Reynolds

number is input in tabular form in terms of the lift and drag

coefficients, C» and C^ for various values of the angle of attack

a. Location of fixed points and the original locations of markers

are input in terms of XF, ZF and XM, ZM respectively. Finally, the

tip to wind speed ratio U-^/U^ is selected thus forming a complete

set of input data.

At each time increment, forces and aerodynamic parameters are

output for each blade element. The angular location of each blade

element along with the calculated angle of attack is given. The

local perturbation velocities are also given along with the forces

F and F. and the torque T . In addition, the instantaneous rotor n t e

torque coefficient and power coefficient are given. The location

and velocities of markers are also output at each time increment.

At the end of a preselected number of time increments the location

and velocities of wake lattice points are given. Input-output

variable code names are given in Tables 1 and 2 and a listing is

given in Appendix B.l.

CHAPTER III

METHODS FOR REDUCING CPU TIME

Computer processing time for the VDART2 model is presently

moderately long. The major portion of the CPU time is required

for calculating the velocities of wake lattice points. Therefore,

reduction of the number of computations required to calculate

velocities at wake lattice points appears to be most fruitful.

The subroutine FIVEL which calculates induced velocities has

already been written in an efficient format and thus reduction

in computational time will be obtained by reducing the number

of times which FIVEL might be called. For example, consider a

two-bladed rotor. If twenty time increments per revolution are

used and the rotor rotates through seven revolutions, then FIVEL

will be called 3.66 x 10 times. Several methods for reducing

CPU time, both tried and untried are presented in the sections

below.

3.1 Frozen Lattice Point Velocities

One approach was used to update lattice point velocities on

a less periodic basis. It was assumed the lattice point moves

with a velocity on the order of the freestream velocity and that

the perturbation velocity should be updated when the lattice point

travels a distance equal to the distance traveled by the rotor

blade in one time step. Using this criteria, thewake velocities

33

Page 45: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

34

were updated after approximately ewery U-/U^ time step. Obviously

a certain amount of danger is present with this method with regard

to both numerical accuracy and stability. Several cases were run

initially with and without this time-saving feature and the power

coefficients were in good agreement for moderate tip to wind speed

ratios. One case was run at a very high tip to wind speed ratio

(Uy/U^ = 20) and numerical instabilities were seen to result.

3.2 Fixed Wake Grid Points

A method which was used successfully on the VDART2 program

to reduce CPU time utilized a number of grid points arranged as

shown in Figure 10. Perturbation velocities were calculated at

each of these grid points instead of at the vortex lattice

points in the wake. The velocities at the vortex lattice points

were then obtained by either linear or polynomial interpolation

of the velocities at the 50 grid points. Potentially this method

can reduce the CPU time by a factor of NT/NG where NG is the number

of fixed grid points. In reality, the interpolation procedure

reduces the reduction factor to approximately NT/2NG. For cases

where a vortex lattice point happens to fall outside the grid

pattern, its velocity is calculated in the usual way. Power coef­

ficients were calculated for a 1, 2 and 3 bladed rotor at tip to

wind speed ratios of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5. Agreement between this

method and the conventional method was quite good except for the

three-bladed rotor operating at a tip to wind speed ratio of 7.5.

36

The resulting numerical instability was reminiscent of the one

encountered using the method of 3.1. The calculated power

coefficient values first dropped with each revolution in good

agreement with the more exact techniques and then at a certain

point in time began to increase to some positive value. In any

event, this technique holds especially good promise since it

reduces the dependence on the number of time steps from a cubic

function to a square function. Detailed discussion of this method

is given in Appendix A.

3.3 Continuity Considerations

This technique could be used in conjunction with the method

of 3.2. Basically, this method would take advantage of the

continuity equation given by:

M + 9 V 8w (32) 3x 9y 9Z "

to allow calculation of one of the velocity components in terms of

the others. For example, consider the two-dimensional case where

the lateral velocity w could be obtained from a difference equation

of the form

AW = . (33) AZ Ax

The values of U would be calculated as usual at the fixed

wake grid points based on the cumulative perturbation velocities

from vortices in the wake. The values of w along the wake centerline

Page 48: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

37

would also be calculated in the same fashion. All other values

of W would be calculated efficiently using equation (33). In

this case, the CPU time would be approximately one-half of that

for the method of 3.2.

3.4 Vortex Proximity

A technique of combining vortices whose centers pass in

close proximity to each other could be useful. Logic to "skip"

the absorbed vortex when calculating perturbation velocities

should be carefully developed to avoid loss of time due to exces­

sive use of logic "if" statements.

Conversely, vortices whose centers are far away from the

point at which perturbation velocities are being calculated could

be neglected. Some criteria based on a combination of range and

vortex strength could be used.

Page 49: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

CHAPTER IV

COMPARISONS OF ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

The major purpose of this section is to present analytical

and experimental results from the present work. Analytical results

from the present two-dimensional vortex lattice model VDART2

can be compared to the vortex model due to Fanucci [5] and the

simple momentum or "strip theory" models [2, 3, 4]. Aerodynamic

forces predicted by the VDART2 model are compared with experi­

mentally measured forces. Finally, dye streak lines and marker

patterns predicted by VDART2 are compared with experimental results.

No attempt to discuss the experimental work in detail will

be made since it is reported elsewhere [14]. It is worthwhile,

however, to describe briefly how the experimental data were

obtained. A simple rotor configuration was built and operated

in a water tow tank. The use of water as a working fluid greatly

facilitates the ability to visualize the flow structure while

working at appropriate blade Reynolds numbers. In addition, blade

forces can more easily be measured since blade internal forces are

small. As depicted in Figure 11, the rotor is mounted on a carriage

which slides along a fixed rail. A cross section of the rail and

carriage assembly is shown in Figure 12. The carriage is provided

with instrumentation slip rings which transmit signals from the

rotor to the carriage housing. Instrumentation signals from the

moving carriage housing are transmitted to a fixed frame of refer­

ence via cables suspended from the laboratory ceiling with surgical

tubing. For flow visualization, a stationary frame of reference

was used to observe the motion of dye and surface markers. A 35

mm camera was mounted over the center of the tow tank. The camera

was fitted with an autowind which was triggered by an inter-

velometer at a rate of 1/3, 2/3, or 1 Hz depending upon the rotor

tip to wind speed ratio. In order to observe a "streak line"

consisting of particles which flow over the trailing edge of the

airfoil, dye was injected through the trailing edge of one of the

airfoils, the dye injection system is shown in Figure 13. The

use of buoyant solid particles to view the flow structure was

also undertaken. An example of the motion of these solid markers

is given in Figure 14.

Validation of the transient blade loading prediction capa­

bility of the analytical model was perhaps the most important

goal of the experimental work. It was intended that the normal

and tangential forces acting on the airfoil blade as well as the

moment about the quarter chord position be measured as a function

of time and blade position. Force measurements were made by

using a Whetstone bridge with four active strain gage elements.

The signals produced by the bridge circuits were first amplified.

The amplified signals were then passed through slip rings and

monitored on a strip chart recorder and a dual trace storage

oscilloscope.

It should be noted that all of the results used in this section,

except for the case shown in Figure 15, were obtained for the

airfoil NACA 0012. Data for the NACA 0012 airfoil lift and drag

coefficients are given in Table 3.

4.1 Rotor performance

Comparisons between the present vortex model VDART2 and the

vortex model due to Fanucci and the strip theory (multiple stream-

tube model) are shown in Figure 15. The coefficient of drag was

chosen to be the same for each model. The lift coefficient for

the strip theory and the present vortex model was selected to

be equal to that for a thin airfoil at a low angle of attack.

The vortex model of Fanucci generates its own lift coefficient

by utilizing a series of vortices along the chord line and by

requiring that the vortex strengths be such that the fluid velocity

is tangential to the airfoil camber line. This method yields a lift

coefficient equal to that input into the present vortex model and

strip theory for thin airfoils in a uniform wind stream at low

angles of attack. The agreement between the strip theory and the

present vortex model is remarkably good. The rather high values

of Cp predicted by Fanucci's vortex model are somewhat mysterious.

It is possible that there is a numerical error in Fanucci's computer

code which results in low values for the induced velocities.

Analytical results for the one, two. and three bladed rotors

which correspond to the experimental setup are shown in Figures

16, 17 and 18. These results were obtained using the Texas Tech

IBM 370 computer. Run times on the order of an hour were required

to obtain five to ten revolutions of the rotor (depending upon the

number of blades). Since the relationship between the rotor power

coefficient C and the inverse of the number of rotor revolutions P

(1/NR) appears to be linear, some estimate of the long-term average

C value can be made. A computer program for extrapolating the

long-term average C value was written using the least-square NR

method with respect to the weighting function e , this program can

be easily converted into a subroutine to be used in VDART2. The

listing of the program is given in Appendix B.4,

From examination of Figures 15 and 16, it can be seen that

the agreement between strip theory and the VDART2 model is quite

good. For the higher solidity cases shown in Figures 17 and 18,

the agreement between strip theory and the VDART2 model is

reasonably good for low to moderate tip to wind speed ratios but

quite poor at high tip to wind speed ratios. The deviant behavior

of the strip theory at high tip to wind speed ratios and high

solidities is to be expected due to the complete breakdown of the

simple momentum principles used in that theory.

7.5 was used. Blade forces are shown in Figure 19 through 22 for

five of the nine test cases which were run. In each case, the

fourth revolution of the rotor was chosen to compare experimental

and analytical results. In each case the basic features of the

periodic waveforms were reasonably well developed by the fourth

revolution.

From Figures 19 and 20 it can be seen that at moderate to

large tip to wind speed ratios the downstream (e = 180° to 360°)

blade forces are reduced significantly from those upstream. It

can also be noted that the minimum value of the non-dimensional

tangential force F. and the zero value of F occur at values of

e > 0° instead of 9 = 0° as might be expected. This occurs due

to a significant lateral flow velocity W near 9 = 0 ° . A minimum

value of F. also occurs at 9 < 180° due to lateral flow in the

opposite direction. The effect of aerodynamic stall is clearly

seen at the lowest tip to wind speed ratio, especially with

regard to F,. Predicted stall regions for the upstream and down­

stream area extend from 9 = 45° to 165° and 9 = 195° to 330°

respectively. Experimental data show a delay in the onset of stall

indicating that the dynamic stall phenomenon should be included

in the analytical model.

From Figures 21 and 22, the effect of rotor solidity can be

seen. The major effect is a progressive retardation of the flow

in the downstream area. Retardation in the upstream area is a much

weaker function of the number of blades.

Experimental data for the normal force F are seen to be in n

reasonably good agreement with the analytical model except as noted

in the stall region. Experimental data for the tangential force

F^, however, is in poor agreement with the analytical model. This

disagreement is believed to result from problems encountered in the

experiment.

4.3 Wake Structure

Several aspects of the wake structure were examined briefly

using experimental and/or analytical data. "Streak lines" produced

by particles flowing over the trailing edge were obtained both

experimentally and analytically. Velocity profiles were obtained

in the near wake of the rotor using the VDART2 computer code.

Positions of solid particle markers placed in the flow ahead of

the rotor were also obtained using VDART2 for comparison with

experimental results.

"Streak lines" produced by particles flowing over the trailing

edge of a one-bladed rotor are shown in Figures 23 and 24. These

streak lines were produced using the VDART2 model. The streak lines

shown in Figure 23 depict the developing wake of a lightly loaded

rotor (i.e., low tip to wind speed ratio). As can be seen from

this figure, the streak line signature near the rotor is little

changed as the rotor completes 1, 2, 3, and 4 revolutions. This

indicates that a periodic analytical solution, with regard to blade

loading, is reached after only one or two revolutions. The streak

lines shown in Figure 24, on the other hand, depict the developing

wake of a highly loaded rotor (i.e., large tip to wind speed ratio).

The streak line structure near the rotor is seen to be relatively

stationary only after about five revolutions although some change

can be noted between the seventh and ninth revolution. Therefore,

a periodic near wake structure is obtained only after a relatively

large number of revolutions at the higher tip to wind speed ratios.

Streak lines obtained from the experiment are given in Figures

25 and 26 along with their analytical counterparts. The photographs

are actually negative prints produced from color slides which gives

one the impression of smoke issuing from the blade as opposed to

red dye. Comparison between analytical and experimental results

show good agreement in regions where dye patterns have not become

too diffuse. Streak lines for each of the five cases depicted

were also recorded using a movie camera. Examination of these

films revealed several aspects of the flow which are not apparent

in the still pictures. Notable among these observations was the

presence of large well-organized vortices at the edges of the wake

structure especially at the higher tip to wind speed ratios and

higher solidities. The celerity or velocity of the vortex centers

appeared in most cases to be quite small while the center portion

of the wake moved at a nearly constant velocity. At low tip to

wind speed ratios distinct starting and stopping vortices could

be noted as the blade went into and out of aerodynamic stall.

Non-dimensional perturbation velocities in the streamwise

direction are shown in Figures 27 and 28 for the two cases given

in Figures 24 and 23 respectively. These velocities are given at

a location which is one rotor diameter downstream from the rotor

center. In both cases, the wake has been allowed to develop through

ten revolutions of the rotor.

For the case shown in Figure 27 (U-^/U^ = 6.0) the streamwise

perturbation velocity distribution U/U^ is relatively invariant with

time except near the edge of the wake. The lateral perturbation

velocity distribution W/U^ is, on the other hand, quite variable

with respect to time. The largest variations appear near the edges

of the wake and possess peak magnitudes on the order of ± 0.10 which

is about 20% of the maximum streamwise perturbation velocity.

For the case shown in Figure 28 (Uj/U^ =2.0) the maximum

streamwise perturbation velocities are relatively small (U/U^ =0.1)

but are more variable with respect to time than the more highly

loaded case of Figure 27. The lateral perturbation velocities are

highly variable with respect to time and are also on the order of

± 0.10. Therefore, in this case, the maximum lateral perturbation

velocity is about 100% of the maximum streamwise perturbation

velocity.

Experimental verification of predicted wake perturbation

velocities was obtained. An example of solid particle marker motion

is shown in Figure 29. As can be seen from this figure, comparison

between analytical and experimental results is good if one takes

into account the experimental shortcomings. The agreement between

analytical and experimental results for the marker is not particularly

good due to the problem encountered in the experiment with regard

to collisions between the particles and the rotor blades. In some

cases, the markers became impaled on the leading edge of the airfoil.

At higher tip to wind speed ratios and solidities the problem

becomes more severe due to the fact that the probability of collision

increases linearly with both tip to wind speed ratio and the number

of rotor blades. An additional complication was that approximately

30 cm of the center portion of the flow field was not visible due to

the towing mechanism support structure. The net result was that a

large percentage of the markers could not be used to display the

fluid motion.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS

The results from the present model are doubtlessly superior as

compared to the vortex model due to Fanucci [5] and the simple momen­

tum or "strip theory" models [2, 3, 4]. Comparisons between analytical

and experimental results show reasonable agreement in most cases

except for the tangential force components. Comparisons between

the present model (VDART2) with experimental results and previous

models are summarized in the section that follows. Some suggestions

for future work are also given in section 5.2

5.1 Summary of Results

Several statements can be made with regard to the results from

the VDART2 mode:

*The rotor power coefficient predicted using the multiple

stream tube model is in good agreement with the vortex

models except at high tip to wind speed ratios for high

solidity rotors.

*The blade loading distribution with respect to rotor

position is significantly different for the two models

at moderately high tip to wind speed ratios. The vortex

model shows significant retardation of the flow in the

downstream area of the rotor.

67

Page 79: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

68

*The streamwise velocity defect appears to be reasonably

stationary with respect to time while the lateral velocity

components are quite variable with respect to time. The

lateral components are normally less than 10% of the free-

stream velocity values.

•Several techniques appear promising with regard to signi­

ficant reductions in the CPU time associated with running

the VDART2 code.

In addition, several statements can also be made with regard to

the comparisons of experimental and analytical results:

•Measured normal force components are in good agreement with

analytical predictions.

•Agreement between measured tangential force components

and analytical predictions are quite poor due to problems

encountered in the experiment.

•Streak lines produced by dye injection are in good agree­

ment with streak lines predicted analytically in regions

of flows where diffusion of the dye is not too severe.

•Velocities in the wake as indicated by the motion of the

solid particle markers are in reasonable agreement with

analysis considering the shortcomings of the experiment.

5.2 Recommendations for Future Work

Several suggestions can be made with regard to the extension of

the present analytical work.

Page 80: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

69

•The three CPU time-reducing techniques discussed previously

in section 3.0 (frozen lattice point velocities, continuity

considerations and vortex proximity) should be tried to

determine which technique yields the greatest reduction of

CPU time.

•Some experiments should be re-run after some modification of

the test rig. Some additional data not previously taken

should be obtained (i.e., velocity profiles in the wake).

•Experimental results indicate that the dynamic stall phen­

omenon, which is not predicted by the model, occurs at low

tip to wind speed ratios. Therefore, it is suggested that

the dynamic stall phenomenon be taken into consideration in

any future models.

APPENDIX A

FIXED WAKE GRID POINTS

As a matter of terminology, it should be understood that the term

"exact velocities" used in this appendix refers to velocities that are

obtained from equation (16) in section 2.1.3.

Calculation of wake velocities is the most time-consuming step

of all (Subroutine WIVEL in Appendix B.l). Therefore, it is necessary

to develop a numerical scheme which can give the approximation of

wake velocities without having to apply equation (16) to all lattice

points in the wake. Two methods, the polynomial interpolation and

the linear interpolation of wake velocities, are suggested. Both

require a number of grid points to be set up in the wake. The

arrangement of these grid points should cover the wake as much as

possible but not be too sparse in order to yield fairly accurate

results. In the early period of wake development, there are more

vortices near the rotor. Since vortices near the rotor have a strong

effect on the blade forces, there should be more grid points placed

near the rotor than in the region far away from the rotor. Figure 10

shows the arrangement of 50 grid points with 5 rows parallel to the

X-axis and 10 rows parallel to the z-axis. With such an arrangement

of grid points, the polynomial interpolation and the linear interpo­

lation methods take approximately 37 and 31 minutes, respectively

72

Page 84: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

73

compared to 60 minutes CPU time required to give "exact velocities"

for the case of a one-bladed rotor with tip to wind speed ratio of

8.

It should be noted that any reduction of CPU time made by the

two previously described methods acutally takes place only when

the calculation of more than 50 lattice points in the wake is

required. In other words, both methods are applied to approximate

wake velocities only after there were 50 lattice points in the wake.

Listings for the computer codes using the polynomial interpola­

tion and the linear interpolation of wake velocities are given in

Appendices A.2.2 and A.2.3 respectively.

A.l Polynomial Interpolation of Wake Velocities

The following discussion shows how the U component of wake

velocities are interpolated. Interpolations of the W-components

of wake velocities are made in a similar fashion.

The arrangement of 50 grid points is as shown in Figure 10.

The perturbation velocities at these grid points are calculated from

equation (16). Wake velocity components are assumed to be a poly­

nomial of the form:

U = c + C2Z + C3Z^ +...+ CgZ^ + CgX + c^x +...+c^^x +...

4 9 ^ C50Z X

The velocities at the 50 grid points can thus be expressed as:

The coefficient matrix [A] may be inverted using the subprogram

MATRIX PROCEDURE by SAS (Statistical Analysis System) [13]. It is

interesting to note that the coefficient matrix needs to be inverted

only once and the results can be used repeatedly to evaluate the 50

constants in the polynomial at different points in time.

Having evaluated the 50 constants in the polynomial, perturbation

velocities of lattice points whose positions are within the range

of the 50 grid points can be simply computed by substituting their

coordinates into the polynomial. Perturbation velocities

of lattice points whose positions are otherwise outside the range

covered by grid points are calculated directly from equation (16).

Polynomial interpolation of wake velocities does reduce CPU

time by a factor of approximately 50 percent for the case of one

bladed rotor and tip to wind speed ratio of 8. CPU time may be

longer for a given number of revolutions for lower tip to wind speed

ratios because at low tip to wind speed ratios, lattice points are

quickly convected outside the range covered by grid points. As

discussed previously, these perturbation velocities will be calculated

from equation (16) which is s^ry time consuming. Fortunately, fewer

Page 87: A VORTEX MODEL OF THE DARRIEUS TURBINE by THONG VAN …

76

revolutions are required for periodicity at the lower tip to wind

speed ratios. Polynomial interpolation of wake velocities is

quite good at points within a distance of 2.5 rotor diameters down­

stream. Further away from the rotor, x becomes larger, truncation

errors resulting from the evaluation of the 50 polynomial constants

are magnified in each succeeding term of the polynomial which results

in large errors in the interpolated wake velocities.

A.2 Linear Interpolation

Similar to the polynomial interpolation, 50 grid points are

arranged as shown in Figure 10. The perturbation velocities at

these grid points are calculated using equation (16). Referring to

Figure 30, let

RX = (Xp - x^)/(x,^+5 - x^)

RZ = (Zp - Z^)/(ZN+I - ^N^

RZRX = (RZ)x(RX)

The U component of the perturbation velocity at point p whose position

is within the range covered by the 50 grid points can be given by

U = (RZ-RZRX)U^^i + (1-RZ-RX+RZRX)U^ +(RZRX)U^^g + (RX-RZRX)U^^5

Again, the W component of the perturbation velocity can be interpo­

lated in a similar fashion. In case the lattice points are outside

the range covered by the 50 grid points the perturbation velocities

will be calculated directly from equation (16).

Like polynomial interpolation, linear interpolation of wake

velocities reduces computer time to approximately 50 percent for

the case of a one-bladed rotor with a tip to wind speed ratio of

8. The polynomial interpolated velocities and the linear interpo­

lated velocities were compared to the "exact velocities". The

comparison indicates that the linear interpolation of wake velocities

in general yields more accurate results than the polynomial inter­

polation of wake velocities due to the round-off errors in the

polynomial scheme.
