Experimental, numerical simulation and mathematical modelling of vane type vertical axis wind turbine

The present global energy economy suggests the use of renewable sources such as solar, wind and biomass to produce the required power. Renewable energy is an alternative energy, which is a clean, nontoxic energy source that is available in abundance. Technology related to wind energy has seen a rapi...

Experimental and numerical works are carried out for a flat plate to obtain its coefficient of drag, and the results are compared to the results available in the literature.
