Magnus Wind Turbine (2012)

Dr Sedaghat and his Master students Mr Kheirandish and Mr Rashidinejad have performed a Mobile testing of a Magnus wind turbine over a vehicle. They introduced some guided vanes at the back of wake flow behind the rotating cylinders together some end disks to improve performance of such generators. CFD simulation was also performed to get insight into physical flow phenomena around the Magnus cylinders.

From the performance results it is concluded that the guided vanes improve power coefficient of the Magnus wind turbine; however, the power capture is yet beyond practical application.
