Design and Testing of a LUT Airfoil for Straight-Bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

Design and Testing of a LUT Airfoil for Straight-Bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

The airfoil plays an important role in improving the performance of wind turbines. However, there is less research dedicated to the airfoils for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) compared to the research on Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). With the objective of maximizing the aerodynamic per...
