Application of Circulation Controlled Blades for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines [PDF]
Energies, 2013 The blades of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) rotor see an inconsistent angle of attack through its rotation. Consequently, VAWT blades generally use symmetrical aerofoils with a lower lift-to-drag ratio than cambered aerofoils tailored to maximise ...

Numerical investigation of the effect of triangle strut in vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) [PDF]
Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology, 2020 Strut is used in vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) to restraint the framework. In this study, struts are analyzed to show the pressure losses in VAWT. ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is used to investigate triangle strut in VAWT.
