Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) extract energy through reduction of the kinetic and turbulent kinetic energies, and the vertical momentum flux. Detailed turbulence profiling and energy balance analysis were attempted through direct turbulence quantification using the Eddy Covariance method. A hi...
