The impact of the blade support structures (the struts) on the performance of vertical-axis
turbines at a high Reynolds number is investigated here. Numerical simulations of a single …

Using delayed detached-eddy simulations, the objective of this paper is to show the effects
of some design parameters on the wake recovery of vertical-axis turbines. To that end, the …

The publication presents the results of the study on vertical cross-flow wind turbine with
frontal arc-shaped and flat deflectors that increase the turbine's power coefficient by up to …

This paper analyzes the wind energy parameters for different areas with low wind energy
potential using the data from the global online wind map. The performance characteristics of …

Wind energy is expected to serve as an integral player in the campaign to replace fossil
fuels with renewable energy sources. The use of wind farms, groups of individual wind …

Wind turbines have been increasing in size leading to difficulties in gathering experimental
data for new designs. The high Reynolds numbers that large wind turbines operate in are …
