Summary:Abstract A model of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT ) with the wing profile of NACA0021 is created for testing purpose in the modeling software. The numerical test is conducted in the profile using two equation turbulence model. The result is presented here. The visualization part of blade is showing the detailed region of both velocity and pressure. The large number of simulation is performed for attaining the maximum performance of the blade with different tip speed ratio. The result shows the average co-efficient of performance of 0.27 at the tip speed ratio of 2.5. The flow visualization is studied at the simple level.
