Abstract Numerical simulations are conducted to improve the energy acquisition efficiency of H-type vertical axis wind turbines through the optimization of the related blade airfoil aerodynamic performance. The Bézier curve is initially used to fit the curve profile of a NACA2412 airfoil, and the moving asymptote algorithm is then exploited to optimize the design of the considered H-type vertical-axis wind-turbine blade airfoil for a certain attack angle. The results show that the maximum lift coefficient of the optimized airfoil is 8.33% higher than that of the original airfoil. The maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the optimized airfoil More >
