Aerodynamic optimization of shrouded wind turbines

An axisymmetric Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes solver is used along with an actuator disk model for the analysis of shrouded wind turbine flowfields. Following this, an efficient blade design technique that maximizes sectional power production is developed. These two techniques are incorporated into an optimization framework that seeks to design the geometry of the shroud and rotor to extract maximum power under thrust constraints. The optimal solution is also evaluated using a full three‐dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes solver, suggesting the viability of the design. The predicted optimal designs yield power augmentations well in excess of the Betz limit, even if the normalization of the power coefficient is performed with respect to the maximum shroud area.
