Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Single Airfoil for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Blades and Performance Prediction of Wind Turbines

The design of wind turbines requires a deep insight into their complex aerodynamics, such as dynamic stall of a single airfoil and flow vortices. The calculation of the aerodynamic forces on the wind turbine blade at different angles of attack (AOAs) is a fundamental task in the design of the blades...
