Effect of the Reynolds number on the performance and approximate modeling of the small straight-bladed vertical-axis wind turbine

Effect of the Reynolds number on the torque and power characteristics of a small straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine has been investigated experimentally under various wind velocity. The maximum mean torque coefficient and the maximum mean power coefficient increase with increasing the Reynol...
