Unsteady flow field in a mini VAWT with relative rotation blades: analysis of temporal results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The present wind turbine is a small one which can be used on roofs or in gardens. This turbine has a vertical axis. Each turbine blade combines a rotating movement around its own axis and around the main rotor axis.

Impacts of Blade Camber on Cross‐Flow Turbine Performance and Loading

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cross‐flow turbines show promise for renewable energy generation from wind and tidal sources. The rotating reference frame of cross‐flow turbine blades results in virtual camber and incidence due to streamline curvature, altering the lift, drag, and pitching moment of the blades. Adding geometric camber is therefore likely to alter performance
