Hydrodynamic Characterisation of a Garman-Type Hydrokinetic Turbine [PDF]
Fluids, 2021 This paper presents a numerical study of the effects of the inclination angle of the turbine rotation axis with respect to the main flow direction on the performance of a prototype hydrokinetic turbine of the Garman type. In particular, the torque and force coefficients are evaluated as a function of the turbine angular velocity and axis operation ...

Hydraulic impacts of hydrokinetic devices [PDF]
Renewable Energy, 2014 AbstractA simple technique to estimate the far-field hydraulic impacts associated with the deployment of hydrokinetic devices is introduced. The technique involves representing hydrokinetic devices with an enhanced Manning (bottom) roughness coefficient. The enhanced Manning roughness is found to be a function of the Manning roughness, slope, and water

Evaluating Extraction of Magnesium and Lithium Compounds from Seawater Using Byproducts of Demonstration-Scale Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis. [PDF]
ChemSusChemIntegrating multiple seawater‐based processes could improve efficiency and reduce process costs. Here, we assess combining mineral extraction with a demonstration‐scale bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) unit. Acid and base streams from BPMED are used for lithium and magnesium recovery from seawater, presenting a sustainable method for marine ...
