Sandia labs did several million dollars of research on VAWTs of all descriptions. They figured out many of the problems. They built many prototype mills. A great amount of data was published.

For s-vawts it's easier to build the rotor first. Then you can figure out how much spinnage there is and how best to use it.

Having a good 'feel' will get you as close as running the numbers can anyway, all things considered.
