The purpose of this thesis is the research of the aerodynamic behaviour of a three bladed Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The aerodynamic simulations were conducted in OpenFOAM software, using PIMPLE as the solver. The operation of the wind turbine was simulated using Computational Flui...
