Performance enhancement of Darrieus wind turbines using Plain Flap and Gurney Flap configurations: A CFD analysis

Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have limited self-starting torque, especially in urban areas with low and changing wind speeds. This study modifies NACA 0015 aerofoils with Plain Flaps (PF) and Gurney Flaps (GF) to improve aerodynamic performance for urban solar wind tree systems. The k...
