RISAn Experimental Study of the Aerodynamics and Performance of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine in a Confined and Unconfined Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a wide experimental study on an Htype vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) carried out at the Politecnico di Milano. The experiments were carried out in a largescale wind tunnel, where wind ...
Time-Resolved Experimental Characterization of the Wakes Shed by H-Shaped and Troposkien Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the aerodynamics of two vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are discussed, on the basis of a wide set of experiments performed at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. A H-shaped and a Troposkien Darrieus ...
Detailed Analysis of the Wake Structure of a Straight-Blade H-Darrieus Wind Turbine by Means of Wind Tunnel Experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have been recently identified as the most promising solution for new types of applications, such as small-scale installations in complex terrains or offshore large floating ...
