Selection of appropriate airfoil is very important for improved aerodynamic performance of a smaller-capacity fixed-pitch straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT). Recently, Islam et. al1 have identified the desirable features of an ideal airfoil for smaller capacity SB-VAWT to improve...
