Estimation of blade loads for a variable pitch vertical axis wind turbine from particle image velocimetry

Abstract This paper presents the flow fields and aerodynamic loading of a two bladed H‐type vertical axis wind turbine with active variable pitch for load and circulation control. Particle Image Velocimetry is used to capture flow fields at six azimuthal positions of the blades during operation, thr...
