Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow
substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and …

Meeting future world energy needs while addressing climatic changes has led to greater
strain on conventional power sources. One of the viable sustainable energy sources is wind …

Renewable energy resources have enabled the mitigation of global environmental pollution
and sustainable energy generation. Due to renewability, cleanliness, and vast sustainability …

With the main advantages of simple shape, smart structural and wind direction
independence, Straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines has been increasingly used in …

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 …

The global warming threats, the presence of policies on support of renewable energies, and
the desire for clean smart cities are the major drives for most recent researches on …

This paper numerically investigates four methods, namely mesh refinement, General
Richardson Extrapolation (GRE), Grid Convergence Index (GCI), and the fitting method, in …

Unlike horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), the Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine (H-type
VAWT) has been the subject of only a few recent studies directed at improving its self …

In this work, the near and far wakes of a low-solidity two-straight-bladed vertical axis wind
turbine (VAWT) were, for the first time, investigated with two-and three-dimensional …

To analyze the complex and unsteady aerodynamic flow associated with wind turbine
functioning, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an attractive and powerful method. In this …
