In this paper, response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) is applied to obtain an optimization design for the asymmetric blades geometry of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). Turbine's airfoils are simulated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The SST K-ω model is used to simulate turbulent flow around the asymmetric blade. The free-stream velocity is constant...
