The global warming threats, the presence of policies on support of renewable energies, and
the desire for clean smart cities are the major drives for most recent researches on …

The design and development of wind turbines is increasing throughout the world to offer
electricity without paying much to the global warming. The Savonius wind turbine rotor, or …

In this work, some notable blade profiles of drag-based vertical axis Savonius wind turbine
rotor have been investigated both numerically and experimentally to judge their …

In recent years, the depletion of oil resources and increased in air pollution have become
the two most serious challenges in the world. Therefore, the offshore vertical axis wind …

In this study, a CFD start-up model has been built after conducting the sensitivity studies to
evaluate the self-starting behaviour of the H-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The …

This paper presents an investigation into the behaviour of a Savonius wind turbine using
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The turbine …

Although the J-shaped aerofoil is a possible solution to enhance the torque generation at
the low tip speed ratios, the effect of the J-shaped aerofoil on the overall and the dynamic …

The present work is intended to assess the ability of state-of-the-art approaches with various
fidelity levels for accurate load predictions on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). The …

The flow physics of high solidity vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) is influenced by the
dynamic stall effects. The present study is aimed at investigating the effects of airfoil …

The paper reports numerical and experimental investigation of a vent-augmented elliptical-
bladed Savonius rotor. In this study, the advantages of a newly developed blade profile and …
