A Numerical Study on Effects of Ice Formation on Vertical-axis Wind Turbine Performance and Flow Field at Optimal Tip Speed Ratio

Wind turbines can freeze due to exposure to cold air. Ice formation on the rotor blades of a wind turbine reduces their performance. In the present work, the effects of ice formation on rotor blades of straight-blade vertical-axis wind turbines (SBVAWT) with a three-blade rotor and a NACA 0021 airfo...
