The aim of this paper presents an unsteady numerical investigation of a novel biologically inspired vertical axis wind turbine for offshore regions of Malaysia. The proposed blade shape is a result of hybrid design inspired by maple seed and epilobium hirsutum. The simulation was conducted in 2D u...
