arly for marine and wind energy applications. Its design features a vertical axis rotor, where the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the fluid flow, making it suitable for studying energy extraction in both air and water. The turbine provides a consistent and reproducible platform for experimental and numerical analysis, enabling researchers to investigate fluid dynamics, energy efficiency, structural loads, and other performance characteristics. Widely used in renewable energy research, the UNH-RVAT is instrumental in testing control systems, material durability, and design optimization techniques. Typically tested in controlled environments like water or wind tunnels, the turbine generates data that helps validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models and improve turbine designs. As a reference model, its specifications and performance data are openly shared, fostering collaboration and standardization in the field of renewable energy technology.
