This book is focused on
combining the concepts of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and
renewable energy technologies. Besides introducing the fundamentals,
the core of this book contains a series of practical examples providing
useful information about the methods and smart solutions for CFD
modeling of selected Renewable Energy Sources (RES) - based
technologies. Each chapter includes a theoretical introduction to the
discussed topic, descriptions of factors determining efficiency and
other important parameters, followed by practical information
concerning the CFD modeling methodology. A summary of the relevant
recommendations and exemplary results with comments is also included.
Features:
- provides practical examples on the application of numerical methods in the analysis of renewable energy processes,
- includes an introduction to CFD for practitioners,
- explores selected aspects of the methodology used in CFD simulations of renewable energy technologies,
- discusses tips and hints for efficient use of CFD codes functionalities,
- contains additional exercise devoted to the geothermal systems.
This
book is aimed at professionals and graduate students in energy
engineering, renewable energy, CFD, energy systems, fluid mechanics and
applied mathematics.
