### Forces on VAWT
[[File:ForcesOnVAWTairfoil.JPG|border|thumb|Vector diagram of the aerodynamic forces acting on a VAWT airfoil. Here U is the freestream velocity, ω is the angular velocity of the turbine, R is the turbine radius, Urel is the relative freestream velocity as seen by the turbine blade, and Ft(lift) and Ft(drag) are the tangential components of the lift and drag forces, i.e., Flift and Fdrag, respectively.<ref>Araya, D. B. (2016). Aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in full-scale and laboratory-scale experiments (Doctoral dissertation, California Institute of Technology).</ref>]]
### To-Dos
- First week or two of Coursera course, wind resources, tests, and measurement part
- Personal notes in a google doc, final Report - technical report in latex, final deliverable that is more public-facing
