Horizontal axis turbines also experience little variable interference of the wind flow between blades, whereas with a vertical axis turbine there is direct and unavoidable interference.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of flexible blades for vertical axis wind turbine using numerical CFD simulations to enhance the aerodynamic performance of the turbine.

A vertical axis wind turbine has its axis perpendicular to the wind streamlines and vertical to the ground. A more general term that includes this option is a "transverse axis wind turbine" or "cross-flow wind

Vertical-axis wind turbines feature a design where the blades spin around a vertical shaft. This allows them to capture wind from any direction without requiring adjustments.
