CFDIndex. décimale : PM01224 Résumé :
This project addresses the critical need for decentralized water production by developing a wind-powered water pumping system. Using reverse engineering and rigorous optimization, parts were designed with CAD software, a scale model was created via 3D printing, and CFD simulations were employed to analyze aerodynamic performance. The wind pump showed significantly higher pumping capacity than the one installed at the POVAL company. The scaled-down wind turbine model was tested in a wind tunnel to validate the simulation results.
