Abstract: Most of the experimental research on vertical axis wind turbines was carried out during 1970–1980s but, recently, the potential of wind energy harvesting in new environments has renewed the interest on VAWT technology. Unfortunately, this interest still collides with an immaturity of aerodynamic modelling tools and detailed experimental analyses are now highly recommended to convert flow field comprehension into novel design techniques.
