In this paper, we investigate a (3+ 1)-dimensional generalized variable-coefficient
Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (GVCKP) equation in a fluid or plasma. The Nth-order Wronskian …

To shed light on the effect of the icing phenomenon on the vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT)
wake characteristics, we present a high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics simulation of …

Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have attracted considerable attention in
recent years due to their potential for harvesting wind energy in urban areas and low wind …

The numerous advantages of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have made them
suitable for urban areas compared to other types of wind turbines; however, the occurrence …

The Savonius drag-type wind turbine suffers from poor efficiency due to the adverse
negative torques on the returning blades when they rotate against incoming flows. It was …

The dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator has been recognized as a leading
technology for controlling fluid flow and has found remarkable applications in wind energy …

The drag-driven vertical-axis turbines with semicircular rotor blades, commonly known as
Savonius turbines, remain potentially beneficial to extract renewable energy from wind and …

In this study, a multi-objective optimization is performed to improve the performance of a
Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) at low tip speed ratios considering the …

Darrieus turbines face difficulty to self-start, especially in environments with fluctuating
inflows that cause them to deviate repeatedly from their designed operating parameters. To …

Although the popularity of Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbines is growing for small-scale
electricity generation, these turbines have severe challenges in self-starting. This paper …
