- Additional information
- This paper details the results of a research project funded by the Department of Energy & Climate Change and Aerogenerator Project Limit. In this work, novel 3D full-scale vertical axis wind turbine simulations were performed with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), Double Multiple Streamtube and Vortex models. This is the first paper to systematically compare low-order aerodynamic models and CFD for full-scale 3D vertical axis wind turbines. Simulations were compared with full-scale experiments for a 17m-diameter vertical axis wind turbine.
