Abstract


The present paper deals with the selection of airfoil profile for VAWTs which is to be installed in the college campus, located in Central India region. Both experimental and numerical analysis he been carried out for the three selected airfoils, NACA 0012, NACA 0015 & S2027. The results show a good correlation with the existing literature. Airfoil profile S2027 has been chosen which best suits our condition.
