Abstract
This thesis conducts preliminary analyses on the estimated performance of a novel Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine at a small-scale through experimental and numerical means. This includes the construction of a wind tunnel in the Complex Fluids Lab at Montclair State University for the simulation and analyses of small-scale prototypes of said VAWT; as well as the utilization of Ansys® 2024 Student Fluent R1 for CFD simulation of scaled single-blade pairs, and potentially full-models of said VAWT.
