The invention belongs to the technical field of vertical-axis wind turbines, and particularly relates to a low-Reynolds-number vertical-axis fan adopting a KFm step
wing section, a blade of the low-Reynolds-number vertical-axis fan and a blade forming method. According to the airfoil,
eddy current reattachment is induced through the step design at the position of 50%-60% of the chord length, flow separation is delayed, the lift force performance and the stall resistance characteristic under the low Reynolds number are improved, and the lift-drag ratio is optimized. Meanwhile, the invention provides a segmented manufacturing method of the aluminum
alloy blade, the blade is divided into the
front edge and the rear edge, the
front edge and the rear edge are independently formed through an aluminum
pultrusion process and then are riveted and assembled, the problem of high mold cost is solved, the technological process is reduced to single riveting, and the production cost is remarkably reduced. During installation, aiming at the periodic windward / leeward working condition of the
vertical axis fan, an installation positioning strategy that the blade steps face the outside of the circumference is specifically designed, and separation flow deterioration is avoided. The
vertical axis wind
turbine has the advantages of aerodynamic efficiency optimization, low cost and easiness in manufacturing, and is suitable for
vertical axis wind power equipment in low-wind-speed and high-turbulence environments.
