Research of blade airfoil aerodynamic characteristics is an important foundation for the vertical axis wind turbine aerodynamic design and performance analysis. CFD simulation software has been applied in this paper. Representative lift-type vertical axis wind turbine airfoil NACA0014, NACA2414, NACA4414, NACA6414, NACA8414 's aerodynamic simulation have been studied. Camber airfoil relative with the change in to the flow velocity is analyzed. At different angles of attack effect on the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines, variation of parameters for airfoil aerodynamic had been analyzed. It will help the optimal design of airfoils for vertical axis wind turbines.
