It is done in ParaView. Displayed quantity is vorticity.

I have ran this simulation, which I have download from your website. The Moment from the post-processing-record is a resistance moment. However this term of moment should be a driving force moment, when we set the rotating velocity as a constant.

It also can be seen from the force term, the result of the force direction is against wind flow direction. Actually it should be the same direction as wind.

Nice work! would you mind to describe the visualization? Which software? which quantity is plotted? plot settings?

[janfiala]

Very nice. I have the same question, why the power increases when the blade is passing the pillar?

[Romiresz]

Very interesting result. Two questions:
1) Can you make and publish a tutorial how to build such models?
2) Why does power fluctuate with some periodicity?

[LatinD]

Looks great. Do you have a tutorial for this model, or an article you could reference me to?

[madtscientist]

The wind From the blades look like an archimede screw.

how can i run your tutorials?I download your cse, but now i even dont know how to make it work.Can i find a descripatin about such as "readme"?

[alialkhabbaz]

please, anybody know how to make animated curve like this one for the power Vs time ?

[nickjanssen]

Looks like it is turning in the wrong direction...
