Abstract: A new type of Darrieus turbine has been proposed to improve the starting ability of the Darrieus turbines using an opening. We conducted a detailed CFD (computational fluid dynamics) investigation to find the influence of the opening location a ratio on the performance of the Darrieus rotor.
