This paper presents a simulation study of an H-type vertical axis wind turbine. Two dimensional CFD model using sliding mesh technique was generated to help understand aerodynamics performance this The effect the pith angle on turbine studied based computational model. As result, could get maximum power coefficient when pitch adjusted suited angle, furthermore, effects and azimuth single blade were investigated. results will provide theoretical supports variable
