Aerodynamic analysis of Savonius and 3-bladed Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine utilizing NACA0012 and NACA0015 airfoils
This study investigates the aerodynamic performance of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) operating under low wind-speed conditions representative of inland and urban environments. A combined numerical-experimental approach was adopted, wherein the aerodynamic characteristics of a three-bladed Darrieus-type VAWT e...
