Numerical Investigation of the Use of Flexible Blade for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

This study proposes a novel vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) design with flexible blades aiming to improve their energy extraction capability. The blade deformation is achieved using Ansys Fluent dynamic mesh and user-defined functions to control the position of the blades nodes at specific azimuth...
