CFD simulations for the aerodynamic characteristic investigations of venturi-shaped roof designs.
Support structures, corners, tunnel, and wind turbine arrangements are optimized to enhance the wind energy potential and reduce the turbulence intensity.
Compared to the basic roof design with sharp edges, the venturi-shaped roof design with aerodynamic optimization obviously improves the power density, which is 32% larger than the basic one’s.
