Co-Authors: Dietmar Rempfer, Peter Kozak.
Developed as a project for my Bachelor's degree from ETSEIAT, Polytechnical University of Catalonia, Spain, during an International Exchange in Illinois Institute of Technology, USA.
Based on Subashki's Mathematica code.
VAWT packages uses the Double-Multiple Streamtube model to solve the flow and performance characteristics of vertical axis wind turbines with H-rotor shape. It assumes 2D approximation and includes dynamic stall and wake interaction modeling.
