ABSTRACT
Fifteen
configurations
of
a Savonius

turbine
were
tested
in
the
Vought
Corporation
Systems
Division
4.9-

determine
aerodynamic
performance.
The

of

varied
parameters

The
measured
test
variables
were
torque,
rotational
speed,
and
tunnel
conditions.
The
data
presented
are
in
the
form
of
power
and
torque
coefficients
as
a function
of
speed
ratio
(or
angular
position
for
static
starting
torques).
It is
concluded
that
increasing
Reynolds
number
and/or
aspect
ratio
improves
performance.
The
recom-
mended
configuration
consists
of
two
sets
of
two-bucket
rotors,
rotated
90°
apart,
with
each
rotor
having
a dimensionless
gap
width
of
O. l-O.
