Abstract | It has been suggested that waste heats or naturally available heat sources can be utilized to produce swirling flow by a design similar to that of split channels which is currently used to initiate fire whirls in laboratories. A new hybrid power system has been proposed combining the conventional Savonius wind turbine and split channel mechanisms. Previous computational and experimental works indicate a performance improvement in the new hybrid design (named as swirling Savonius turbine, SST) compared to the conventional Savonius turbine. However, the lack of detailed descriptions of the flow field around the swirling |
