The aerodynamics of vertical axis wind turbines

One of the operational problems encountered with vertical axis wind turbines is their low starting torque. A number of analytical methods were investigated to see whether they could predict the starting performance of vertical axis turbines. The chosen methods used " actuator disc theory"...
