Research on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) is receiving more attention due to their special characteristic of capturing omnidirectional wind flow. Unlike the horizontal axis wind turbine, the flow characteristic of VAWT is complex, especially in the downwind region. Solidity is one of the desig...
