N2 - In spite of the significant developments in harvesting the wind energy, wind turbine poses significant aerodynamics challenges associated with the complex fluid dynamics such as wake dynamics, flow-tower interactions, blade-wake interactions, etc. The present studies concern the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics studies of the vertical-axis wind turbine. The computational studies are performed using the large-eddy simulation (LES) approach. The simulations were performed for a Reynolds number, Re = 1.2 x 105, based on the NACA0012 airfoil chord and free-stream velocity. The results show that the LES approach capture very well the flow physics associated with the wind turbine.
