3D CFD simulation and parametric study of a flat plate deflector for vertical axis wind turbine

Three-dimensional numerical simulations have been performed to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of a straight-bladed NACA0021 vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The unsteady flow CFD simulation was validated with the wind tunnel experiment data available in the literature. Sliding mesh method...
