This paper presents the CFD numerical investigation of novel drag-driven wind turbine blade inspired by spiral optimisation algorithm (SPO) and cycloid curve. In this study, six hybrid spiral geometries were analysed via CFD simulation using FLUENT based on URANS and SST numerical model. The simulat...
