Numerical investigations of a novel vertical axis wind turbine using Blade Element Theory‐Vortex Filament Method (BET‐VFM)

Abstract The aerodynamic performance of three different configurations of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT), namely: (a) conventional Darrieus troposkein VAWT (based on turbines designed by Sandia National Laboratories), (b) novel 50% STS‐VAWT (50% shifted‐troposkein‐shaped STS‐VAWT), and (c) novel...
