Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics is thought to provide in the near future an essential
contribution to the development of vertical-axis wind turbines, helping this technology to rise …

Thanks to the continuous improvement of calculation resources, computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) is expected to provide in the next few years a cost-effective and accurate …

Darrieus wind turbines are experiencing a renewed interest in the wind energy scenario, in
particular, whenever small and medium-size installations are considered. In these contexts …

This paper describes the introduction of an unsteady aerodynamics model applicable for
horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines (HAWT/VAWT) into the advanced blade design …

Increasing interest is being paid by architects, project developers and local governments to
understanding where small wind turbines can effectively be exploited to provide delocalized …

Recent experiments and theoretical models showed that the aerodynamic performance of H-
Darrieus wind turbines can even be enhanced in case of moderate skew angles, which are …
