Quote from Brecht T on 21. January 2023, 10:24Hello 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

Quote from David on 22. January 2023, 08:04Hi 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
