A theoretical and experimental study of the aerodynamics of the curved-bladed darrieus vertical axis wind turbine

The aerodynamic performance of the low solidity curved-bladed Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. Initial studies showed the need for an engineering prediction scheme sufficiently accurate to give blade forces as functions of rotational positio...
