Design and Shape Optimization of Blade Profile and support-arms for Small Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
In this thesis, blade shape optimization of a vertical axis wind turbine blade was performed. The study consist of 2D and 3D analysis using computational fluid dynamics. 2D shape optimization was performed on a NACA0018 blade using the adjoint solver together with the gradient based optimizer. An or...
