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

Investigating the Effects of Air‐Jet on the Performance of a Hybrid Darrieus–Savonius Wind Turbine
International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The power performance of a hybrid three–bladed H‐Darrieus turbine and a two‐bladed Savonius turbine is analyzed by adding air‐jet deflectors. Aluminum is selected for the blade design due to its high strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. Experimental analyses were conducted using the developed prototype with and without an air jet in an open
