Abstract

The effects of sound pressure level at two observation positions of a fixed and varied blade pitch angle at Low-Mach unsteady incompressible Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes flow approach, on an H-rotor Vertical Axis Wind Turbine. The objective of the study is to compare the noise dissipation and output power/energy of the airfoil blades design of the vertical axis wind turbine in residential zones. The Ffowcs Williams -Hawkings (FHWH) techniques were applied to validate the output noise and vortex shedding of the different angles of attacks (AoA). The study postulated that the time history of the calculated sound pressure level at two observers positions: the aeroacoustic, blade vortex interaction noise, flow separations, dynamic stall experience from varied angled of attacks are found to produces less noise and vortex shedding compared to the fixed angle of attack.
