CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTI ON

Recent interest in wind machines has resulted in the reinvention and

analysis of many of the wind power machines developed over the past centuries.
Because of the considerable time period since the last large scale interest
in this country, which occurred over twenty-five years ago (1) a considerable
amount of information that was published is out of print or not generally
available.

An

excellent bibliography of the work published prior to 1945 was

collected by the War Production Board in a report issued by

sity (2).

~ew

York Univer-

Golding's work (3) published in 1955 also contains an extensive

bibliography and covers the work done in England in the 1950's.

It is the

purpose of this paper to review the aerodynamics of various types of wind

power machines and to indicate advantages and disadvantages of various schemes
for obtaining power from the wind.
The advent of the digital computer makes the task of preparing general
performance plots for wind machines quite easy.

Simple, one-dimensional

models for various power producing machines are given along with their performance characteristics and presented as a function of their elementary aerodynamic and kinematic characteristics.

Propeller type wind turb ine theory is

reviewed to level of strip theory including both induced axial and tangential
velocities.

It is intended that this publication be of use in rapid eval-

uation and comparative analys is of the aerodynamic performance of wind

power machines.

1.1

Role of Aerodynamics in Wind Power

The success of wind power as an alternate energy sources is obviously a

direct function of the economics of production of wind power machines.

In

this regard, the role of improved power output through the development of
better aerodynamic performance offers some potential return, however, the
focus is on the cost of the entire system of which, the air-to-mechanicalenergy transducer is but one part.

The technology and methodology used to

develop present day fixed and rotating-wing aircraft appears to be adequate

to develop wind power.
One of the key areas associated with future development of wind power is
rotor dynamics.

The interaction of inertial, elastic and aerodynamic forces

will have a direct bearing on the manufacture, life and operation of wind
power systems while at the same time have a minor effect on the power output.

Thus the aerodynamics of performance prediction, quasi-static in nature,

is deemed adequately developed while the subject of aeroelasticity remains to

be transferred from aircraft applications to wind power applications.
1.2

Wind Power Machines

Since 1920 there have been numerous attempts in designing feasible wind-

mills for large scale power generation in accordance with modern theories.
This section describes representative types of these designs.
It is convenient to classify wind-driven machines by the direction of

their axis of rotation relative to wind direction as follows:

1.

Wind-Axis Machines; machines whose axis of rotation is parall el

to the direction of the wind.

2.

Cross Wind-Axis Machines; machines whose axis or rotation is

perpendicular to the direction of the wind.

CROSS-WIND-AXIS MACHINES
SAVONIUS ROTOR
The Savonius Rotor in its most simplified form appears as a vertical
cylinder sliced in half from top to bottom; the two halves being displaced as
shown in Figure 1.1.

It appears to work on the same principle as a cup ane-

mometer with the addition that wind can pass between the bent sheets.

In

this manner torque is produced by the pressure difference between the concave
and convex surfaces of the half facing the wind and also by recirculation effects on the convex surface that comes backwards upwind.

The Savonius design

was fairly efficient, reaching a maximum of around 31%, but it was very inefficient with respect to the weight per unit power output since its construction results in all the area that is swept out being occupied by metal.

Savonius rotor requires 30 times more surface for the same power as a conventional rotor blade wind-turbine.

Therefore it is only useful and economical

for small power requirements.
