International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE) Kongresi‘nde bildiri olarak sunulmuştur.A numerical analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics methodology was carried out to study the effect of the different inclination angles on wind loads of solar panel. The wind flow is simulated as turbulent, incompressible flow with a free stream velocity of 10 m/s and a wind direction of 180(0) and the inclination angles is chosen as 25(0) , 30(0) and 35(0) . The finite-volume-method is employed to solve the governing equations, coupled with the k-epsilon turbulence model with standard-wall treatment. The results indicate that pressure magnitudes on the panel were increased with the inclination angle. The maximum lift and drag force is appeared for the 35(0 )inclination.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEngineeringWind loadsSolar panelComputational fluid dynamicsInclination angleAerodynamic loadsAerospace engineeringComputational fluid dynamicsDragFinite volume methodIncompressible flowSolar cell arraysSolar concentratorsWall functionFree-stream velocityGoverning equationsInclination anglesLift and dragSolar panelsWall treatmentWind directionsWind loadWind stressProceedings Paper0006215882000732-s2.0-85055499319406409Engineering, aerospaceEngineering, mechanicalSolar Water Heaters; Solar Collectors; Solar Energy
