The effect of rotation-curvature correction and inviscid spatial discretization scheme on the aerodynamic performance and flow characteristics of Darricus H-type vertical axis wind turbine(VAWT)are investigated based on an in-house solver.This solver is developed on an in-house platform HRAPIF based on the finite volume method(FVM)with the elemental velocity vector transformation(EVVT)approach.The present solver adopts the density-based method with a low Mach preconditioning technique.The turbulence models are the Spalart-Allmaras(SA)model and the k-ω shear stress transport(SST)model.The inviscid spatial discretization schemes are the third-order monotone upstream-centered schemes for conservation laws(MUSCL)scheme and the fifth-order modified weighted essentially non-oscillatory(WENO-Z)scheme.The power coefficient,instantaneous torque of blades,blade wake,and turbine wake are compared and analyzed at different tip speed ratios.The extensive analysis reveals that the density-based method can be applied in VAWT numerical simulation;the SST models perform better than the SA models in power coefficient prediction;the rotation-curvature correction is not necessary and the third-order MUSCL is enough for power coefficient prediction,the high-order WENO-Z scheme can capture more flow field details,the rotation-curvature correction and high-order WENO-Z scheme reduce the length of the velocity deficit region in the turbine wake.
