This study presents a CFD analysis of a Savonius VAWT using mesh motion in ANSYS Fluent to examine aerodynamic performance and flow characteristics. The rotor geometry was modeled in DesignModeler and meshed with a non-conformal, unstructured grid containing about 5.5 million cells for accurate flow resolution. A transient, pressure-based solver with the RNG k-ε turbulence model was applied; air was used as the working fluid, with rotating and stationary flow zones defined. The simulation revealed pressure variations, wake formation, and vortex structures around the blades, highlighting key aerodynamic behaviors of the Savonius VAWT.

Complete CFD Course on Rotary Equipment & Turbomachinery
The global energy transition, the relentless pursuit of mechanical efficiency, and the accelerating complexity of industrial machinery have placed turbomachinery CFD simulation at the absolute center of modern engineering practice. Whether the objective is designing a more efficient centrifugal compressor for a gas processing plant, optimizing a horizontal axis wind turbine for a renewable energy farm, or extending the service life of a centrifugal pump operating under cavitating conditions, the ability to simulate rotating equipment with precision is no longer optional — it is a core professional competency.

The Engineering Imperative Behind Rotary Equipment & Turbomachinery CFD Simulation
Turbomachinery represents the mechanical backbone of global energy infrastructure. Gas turbines power aircraft engines and electricity grids. Centrifugal pumps circulate fluids across oil refineries, water treatment plants, and pharmaceutical facilities. Wind turbines — both horizontal axis (HAWT) and vertical axis (VAWT) — convert atmospheric kinetic energy into electrical power at utility scale. Hydraulic turbines such as the Francis turbine, Pelton wheel, and Kaplan hydro turbine extract energy from waterways, forming the cornerstone of renewable hydropower generation.
The engineering challenge inherent to all rotating equipment lies in the extreme complexity of internal flow physics. Phenomena including rotating stall, surge, cavitation, tip leakage vortices, rotor-stator interaction, aeroacoustic noise generation, and blade fatigue under unsteady aerodynamic loading cannot be adequately characterized through analytical methods or simplified experimental approaches alone. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using ANSYS Fluent provides the resolution, physical fidelity, and parametric flexibility required to capture these phenomena accurately — enabling engineers to optimize performance, extend equipment life, and reduce development risk before any physical prototype is manufactured.
Industry demand for engineers proficient in rotating machinery ANSYS Fluent simulation is accelerating across energy, aerospace, automotive, marine, and process industries. This course directly addresses that demand with a structured, comprehensive, and immediately applicable training framework.
