Multi-megawatt floating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are a promising solution to
exploit offshore wind energy resources in deep water sites. At this large-scale, the VAWT's …

Abstract Guided Vane Airfoil was introduced as a novel passive flow control approach to
control the dynamic stall of the Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine. ANSYS fluent SW tool has …

This paper demonstrates the capability of CFD to accurately simulate the effect of the flow
turbulence intensity on the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT). This effect is …

The suitability of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in harnessing energy within a complex
wind environment has increased their renewed interest. However, there still exists a huge …

The aerodynamic interaction of vertical axis wind turbines in several array configurations
was studied by conducting a series of wind tunnel measurements. Four configurations of two …

Turbulence is one of the main characteristics of urban flows, but its effect on the performance
