Development of an aeroelastic simulation for the analysis of vertical-axis wind turbines

Like their horizontal-axis counterparts, as the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines increase in size they typically become relatively more flexible so a better understanding of their aeroelastic behaviour is required. This research addresses the challenges of large, flexible, vertical-axis wind...
