Analysis of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

  • Conference paper
New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design ((NNFM,volume 112))

Summary

The present paper contributes to the modeling of unsteady aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). A Double Multiple Stream Tube (DMST) model as an engineering approach for design and optimization of VAWT is presented. The unsteady flow around a H-type rotor is investigated numerically in two and three dimensions using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
