A comparative analysis of seven commonly-used eddy-viscosity turbulence models for CFD
simulations of VAWTs is presented. The models include one-to four-equations, namely the …

The current study systematically analyzes the impact of solidity (σ) and number of blades (n)
on the aerodynamic performance of 2-, 3-and 4-bladed Darrieus H-type vertical axis wind …

This critical review delves into the impact of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling
techniques, specifically 2D, 2.5 D, and 3D simulations, on the performance and vortex …

Savonius wind turbine is an interesting type of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) which
has a low cost of manufacturing, however, this turbine has a relatively low power output …

In this study, the effect of the inner blade position on the performance of the Savonius rotor
has been investigated numerically to determine the best position of the inner blade. Five …

Climate change and high energy demand have significantly increased the need for
renewable energy sources (RES). Marine and ocean energy sources draw attention through …

In this study, the fossil fuel usage by-product is carbon dioxide, which is known as the
primary cause in global warming. Alternatively, wind energy is a clean alternative energy …

Exploitation of wind energy with vertical axis rotary-wing has advantage over horizontal axis
rotary-wing in areas where the wind is turbulent and unstable, ie, with fast changes either in …

This paper presents the identification, development and simulation of a complex order, third
generation CRONE (Commande Robuste d'Ordre Non Entier) controller for a new Darrieus …

This paper reports experimental results, in a wind tunnel, of controllers for a vertical axis
wind turbine (VAWT). Models and controllers from previous works were validated and …
