Giri Ajay, A. (author), Morgan, Laurence (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bretos, David (author), Cascales, Aurelio (author), Pires, Oscar (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author)This article presents a comparison study of different aerodynamic models for an X-shaped vertical-axis wind turbine and offers insight into the 3D aerodynamics of this rotor at fixed pitch offsets. The study compares six different numerical models: a double-multiple streamtube (DMS) model, a 2D actuator cylinder (2DAC) model, an inviscid free...journal article 2024

(author), Croce, A. (author)This paper presents the most recent results from the EU project AVATAR in which aerodynamic models are improved and validated for wind turbines on a scale of 10 MW and more. Measurements on a DU 00-W-212 airfoil are presented which have been taken in the pressurized DNW-HDG wind tunnel up to a Reynolds number of 15 Million. These measurements...journal article 2016
