Helicoidal VAWT design
#1 · 21. January 2023, 10:24
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to design a helicoidal VAWT in QBlade (like in the picture) because I do not know how to do it yet?
Kind regards,
Brecht

Hi Brecht,
such a turbine cannot be modeled since it’s a drag driven (savonious) design. Modeling a savonious rotor requires a finite volume approach which is something that QBlade cannot do.
Best,
David

Oke, thanks! Do you maybe know software where it is possible to model drag-driven VAWTs?
