Assessment of stress-blended eddy simulation model for accurate performance prediction of vertical axis wind turbine (2020)
Journal Article

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to assess the ability of a stress-blended eddy simulation (SBES) turbulence model to predict the performance of a three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The grid sensitivity study is conducted to ev... Read More about Assessment of stress-blended eddy simulation model for accurate performance prediction of vertical axis wind turbine.

The effect of gurney flap on flow characteristics of vertical axis wind turbine (2020)
Journal Article

Recently, the Gurney Flap (GF) has been used to improve the performance of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) by enhancing its lift coefficient. Compared to HAWT, research on GF application for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is very limited. More...
