Wind tunnel performance data for the Darrieus wind turbine with NACA 0012 blades

Abstract
Five blade configurations of a 2-meter-diameter Darrieus wind turbine have been tested in the LTV Aerospace Corporation 4.6- x 6.1-m (15- x 20-ft) Low Speed Wind Tunnel. The airfoil section for all configurations was NACA 0012. The parameters measured were torque, rotational speed, and tunnel conditions. Data are presented in the form of power coefficient as a function of tip-speed ratio for the various solidities, Reynolds number, and freestream velocities tested.
