The high emission of fossil fuels are major driving forces in renewable energy technology
development. In response, the lift-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) is experiencing a …

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

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 …

Due to growing interest in wind energy harvesting offshore as well as in the urban
