Vertical Axis Wind Turbines development was ignored as compared to horizontal axis wind turbines, due to its inability to generate large power. VAWT's have the advantage of working in turbulent wind and at low height. The power generated by VAWT depends upon the drag and lift forces acting on the blades. This paper is focused on analysis of drag and lift forces at different tip speed ratio acting at different azimuth angle of wind turbine. Computational fluid dynamics analysis of turbine is done by using K ω Shear Stress Transportation turbulence model. Computation is done to calculate Drag coefficients, Lift coefficients, and pressure and velocity distribution on wind turbine. Coefficient of lift is maximum at 35 o and minimum at 90 o, drag coefficient is maximum at 60 o and minimum at 150 o, pressure is maximum at 30o and minimum at 90
