Abstract

The main objective of this research is to optimize the diffuser design of Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine
(DAWT). Specifically, this study investigates the effect of wind velocity on different shapes of flanged diffusers to develop
the suitable diffuser for the wind turbine. For that purpose, the ideologies of DAWT have been studied. Different diffuser
design concepts were developed and the wind speed for each design is simulated using design software Solid works and
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software ANSYS Fluent. Results show that After Numerous study, by keeping
flange at the exit velocity increases by 18.75% and by increasing length of diffuser velocity increases by 8-10%.
