Aerodynamic models for Darrieus-type straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines

Since ancient past humans have attempted to harness the wind energy through diversified means and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) were one of the major equipment to achieve that. In this modern time, there is resurgence of interests regarding VAWTs as numerous universities and research instituti...
