CFD Simulation of an urban environment for placing wind turbines

Abstract

Besides solar energy, wind energy is also a major factor in the aspect of “green energy” utilization that should be taken advantage of. In urban circumstances the flow of the wind is more predictable therefore it is worth to be utilized paying attention to various components such as impact on humans. Under the given conditions the goal is to obtain more benefit from this fluid energy. During the preliminary CFD (Computing Fluid Dynamics) simulations it have been concluded that the multi-rotor configuration is more effective than the single-rotor construction. Further measurements and simulations are based on the multiple impeller is situated in a given infrastructure.
