Torque of a Wind Turbine by SolidWorks Flow Simulation

In this flow simulation tutorial I will tell you how to calculate the torque of a wind turbine by using solidworks flow simulation, I will also tell you how you can find the value of forces which are acting of the blades of windmill due to flow effect.

Thanks for the video, it is interesting to know the torque but will be an estimation value, because you are not considering the wind turbine spinning, which will totally change the value, for many reasons, but just to tell two of them;
1- The profile lift force changes with the relative speed that the edge of the foil sees.
2- The inertia. If the wind turbine is spinning to certain RPM and the wind velocity is X. The increase of revolutions per minute are not the same increase of revolutions that the turbine would have obtained if it had been stationary.
So as an engineer I must say this simulation is not fully valid. But for sure helps to understand a lot of things. Thanks for the video.

Hello Robert,
Thanks for putting more light on the simulation. Although I'm just beginning to learn the process, but do you mean that the wind velocity of 10 m/s used in the simulation did not cause any rotational effect on the rotor assembly, or you are only pointing out that the rotational speed was not selected as a goal in the simulation? Please kindly enlighten me. Thank you.

​@@abdulmalikmusa6889 I mean, your values are probably OK for a static wind turbine. In reality is spinning, so the relative velocity that the profile see is going to change the direction if the RPM and/or the wind speed changes, moreover to add more complexity to the equation, the relative velocity is the one that generate lift and drag on the blade, the lift underneath the blade is what actually responsible of produce the majority of the force on the blade, which is translated into torque in the shaft. Exactly the same effect that allow a plan to fly.

Hello Usman,
Thanks for the video. It's really clear and interesting. I'll try and practice it soon. In case I find some challenges, I hope you wouldn't mind to put me through. Once again, thank you.

I didn't get how had you adjusted the rotating of domain (with the blades) or only blades at least ?

[@menushakavindi1466]

Have you internal air flow simulation vedio like this?

HI, How do I remove letters from a stl file? DO you have a video explaining that, please?

[@SolidWorksTutorial1]

You can remove text from stl with some tricks, Please check this video, you will get an idea th-cam.com/video/9YvlPgWCAAE/w-d-xo.html

Hello, pls I want to draw a wind turbine.. can you help me. Thank you in advance

How can i find rpm of the turbine?

[@Slimsy_Lukas]

I have the same issue. Did you manage to figure out how to find RPM?

[@rambotan9309]

Same problem here, any advice?
