1) Modeling the Turbine

The first step is to create a 3D model of the wind turbine in ANSYS. This involves creating a geometric representation of the turbine's blades, hub, and supporting structure. The model should be accurate and detailed enough to capture the important features of the turbine's geometry. This Process is done using Design modular in Ansys by considering the Dimensions which we used to create the CAD model .

a) Rotor Geometry

The rotor section comprises the rotating components of the turbine, including the blades, shaft, and a cylindrical casing. The entire geometry of the rotor section is designed using the Design Modeler window due to its 3D nature. To create the rotor blades, a Boolean subtraction operation is performed without preserving the body, and the material of the cylindrical casing is changed to fluid since it does not represent a physical body. This enables the rotor section to rotate freely inside the stator, creating the necessary fluid flow for energy generation.
