This thesis is conducted with methods to select an airfoil for a small-scale vertical axis wind turbine to operate at relatively low tip-speed ratios. With the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the aerodynamic performance of the selected airfoil is then compared to the commonly used NACA 0018 airfoil. Our approach is to focus on the tangential force employed in the selection of the airfoil. To do so, an approach was developed using MATLAB software to use NACA four-digit algorithm to generate the geometry of the airfoil and, then by the implementation of Xfoil V6.99 to the code, the values of tangential force coefficient for a range of angles of attack are then predicted. These values are then compared to the NACA 0018 air...
