What is VAWT Design and Performance Review about?
This document reviews different types of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and methods used to study their performance. It describes the two main types of VAWTs - Savonius (drag-type) and Darrieus (lift-type) - and introduces hybrid designs that combine features of both. Computational fluid dynamics and other numerical/analytical methods are discussed that have been used to calculate VAWT performance. The review focuses on straight-bladed Darrieus VAWTs and compares fixed vs. variable pitch designs.
