Adjoint Method Shape Optimization of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
This study demonstrates the efficacy of the adjoint method to optimize a VAWT blade. A symmetrical blade NACA0018 was chosen as the starting geometry and the adjoint method was applied through 2D CFD simulation to obtain a optimized blade. The 2D adjoint optimization scheme was found to produce a st...
