A computational fluid dynamics model for horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) analysis using finite-volume methods

The regulation of fossil-fuel consumption has prompted governments in the development of clean and renewable energy systems. Wind energy is by far the most promising of these systems in the Philippines due to its numerous potential sites. However, the technology in the development of wind turbines r...

description The regulation of fossil-fuel consumption has prompted governments in the development of clean and renewable energy systems.
