This study investigates the airflow dynamics of a 2D wind turbine using CFD analysis in ANSYS Fluent. The 2D geometry was created in ANSYS Design Modeler and meshed using ANSYS Meshing, resulting in a tetrahedral mesh of 60,912 elements. The simulation utilizes a dynamic mesh feature with remeshing and smoothing methods, coupled with a Six DOF (Degree of Freedom) model for turbine rotation. A transient, pressure-based solver captures time-dependent flow characteristics. The simulation examines airflow patterns, velocity distributions, and turbine performance over multiple time steps, visualized through velocity magnitude contours.

In this project, a flow around a Contra-Rotating Turbine has been simulated, and the results of this simulation have been investigated. This ANSYS Fluent CFD training simulates a contra-rotating VAWT turbine with two blade rows rotating oppositely at 14.7 rad/s. Inlet velocity is 5.3 m/s; mesh motion defines rotations using k-epsilon model and steady pressure-based solver. Results show enhanced pressure/velocity between blades, doubling torque (~1.9 N.m per row) for better power.
