Study on start-up characteristics of H-Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines comprising NACA 4-digit series blade airfoils

Installation of H-type vertical axis wind turbines is in many cases limited by the inherent start-up issues associated with this type of turbine. This could be crucial in environments with low wind speed. The aim of this study is to provide an appropriate CFD modeling setup for investigation of the...
