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 …

Wind energy plays a vital role in the development sustainable energy due to its vast
availability, commercially ready technology, low cost, and great contribution to CO 2 …

Blade pitch control is a well-developed and widely-used approach in modern horizontal axis
wind turbines in operation. However, its application in vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) is …

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) may offer operational and design advantages over their
horizontal axis counterparts, but the occurrence of dynamic stall and the resulting cyclical …

The behavior of wind turbines wakes is of considerable interest, especially in the context of
wind farms where wake-turbine interactions are important. Here we investigate …

The variety of configurations for vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) make the development
of universal scaling relationships for even basic performance parameters difficult. Rotor …

Cross-flow turbines harness kinetic energy in wind or moving water. Due to their unsteady
fluid dynamics, it can be difficult to predict the interplay between aspects of rotor geometry …

In this article, the suitability of the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) to predict the
dynamic response in the startup process of small-scale Darrieus vertical-axis wind turbines …

This paper presents the dynamic behavior of a fluidic diode (FD) subjected to periodic flow
(oscillatory flow). This study captures the transient performance of the FD, which a steady …

Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines have yet to see wide-spread use as a means of
harvesting the kinetic energy of the wind. This may be due in part to the difficulty in modeling …
