Simulation and validation of wake deflection in vertical-axis wind turbines

PIV Experimental Comparison of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Wake with Theoretical Models

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) operation is characterized by complex and unsteady three-dimensional fluid dynamics, which presents considerable challenges. One of the crucial points to understand is the complex interaction between rotor, inflow, and wake systems. If we can demonstrate its effectiveness in the complex flow/inflow conditions,...
