A numerical study on the influence of solidity on the performance of vertical axis wind turbines

Computational Fluid Dynamics has been used to test seven configurations of a 5kW three-bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine based on a NACA0012 profile. The turbine aerofoil chord has been changed to alter the turbine solidity and this has been tested over a wide range of tip speed ratios. Validation i...
