Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents an integrated approach to improve the efficiency of a closed-type wind turbine. The influence of the confuser’s angle of attack on the wind speed in the turbine blades located area has been studied. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the installation was created using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The contours of speeds and pressures were studied at different wind speeds, as well as under different confuser parameters. Based on the results of the study, a recommendation for the optimal angle of attack of the confuser was made for constructing a closed-type wind turbine, and MXene-based nanomaterials were considered for use in icing prevention systems.
