Abstract (German)	This project concerns the enhancement of the efficiency of a VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine). The aim is to optimise the geometry of the blades in order to minimise the drag force and the aerodynamic moment for a given lift. The project focuses on numerical and experimental methods.
