Appropriate Dynamic-Stall Models for Performance Predictions of VAWTs with NLF Blades

This paper illustrates the relative merits of using Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) airfoils in the design of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). This is achieved by the application of the double-multiple-streamtube model of Paraschivoiu to the performance predictions of VAWTs equipped with conventional...
