Flows through a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) are very complex due to their inherent unsteadiness caused by large variations of the angle of attacks as the turbine is rotating and changing its azimuth angles simultaneously.

Comparison of dynamic stall on an airfoil undergoing sinusoidal and VAWT-shaped pitch motions
The aerodynamics of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are inherently unsteady because the blades experience large angle of attack variations throughout a full turbine revolution.

Effects of blade section on performance of butterfly wind turbines as double-blade VAWTs
A butterfly wind turbine (BWT) is a kind of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with closed-loop blades. These blades form a double-blade structure, which is expected to improve self-starting properties and reduce energy costs because of their simple ...

ABSTRACT Vertical‐axis wind turbines (VAWTs) operate in the atmospheric boundary layer and are frequently subjected to turbulent flow. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of free‐stream turbulence on the power performance and wake characteristics of a pair of counter‐rotating VAWTs.

Optimizing H-Darrieus Wind Turbine Performance with Double-Deflector Design
This study aims to improve an H-Darrieus vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) by imposing a novel double-deflector design. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was implemented to examine the aerodynamic characteristics of the VAWT with double ...

The Past, Present and Future of Structural Health Monitoring: An Overview of Three Ages
ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the discipline of structural health monitoring (SHM), organised in terms of three proposed ages. The first age is delineated by the prehistory of SHM and the period where nondestructing testing methods evolved into an organised set of principles built upon physics‐based models; this age ended when the model ...
