Abstract

The purpose of this study is to make a numerical simulation of the previously reported experimental results 
dealing with the performance of the conventional semi-circular two bladed SSWT based on the relationships between 
torque coefficients and different tip speed ratios λ, to be in comparison with the CFD results. The present investigation 
demonstrates absolute error growth of order ~ 0.01 within specified range of λ between CFD and the available 
experimental data.
