Design of a hydrokinetic turbine [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2015
Hydrokinetic turbine power production depends on the interaction between the rotor and water. Therefore, an optimum geometry of the rotor must be designed and constructed to capture the maximum water energy and convert it into a usable energy. The steps involved in the design and numerical simulation of a small horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine ...

Performance analysis of multi-row vertical axis hydrokinetic turbine–straight blade cascaded (VAHT-SBC) turbines array

Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2019
Due to its high energy concentration, hydrokinetic energy from tidal and rivers flow provides great expectation. One of the effective ways to meet the energy production target is to reduce the installation and maintenance effort arranging turbines in ...

Variable Pitch Darrieus Water Turbines

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2008
In recent years the Darrieus wind turbine concept has been adapted for use in water, either as a hydrokinetic turbine converting the kinetic energy of a moving fluid in open flow like an underwater wind turbine, or in a low head or ducted arrangement ...

Design of Hydrokinetic Turbine Blades Considering Cavitation [PDF]

, 2015
The cavitation is a phenomenon that must be considered into a hydrokinetic turbines design. This assumption has been explored in the last years, principally for the turbine with large diameter, once the relative velocity near the hydrokinetic blade tip ...
