Design and testing of a contra-rotating tidal current turbine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A contra-rotating marine current turbine has a number of attractive features: nearzero reactive torque on the support structure, near-zero swirl in the wake, and high relative inter-rotor rotational speeds.

On the Use of a Single Beam Acoustic Current Profiler for Multi-Point Velocity Measurement in a Wave and Current Basin

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Harnessing the energy of tidal currents has huge potential as a source of clean renewable energy. To do so in a reliable and cost effective way, it is critical to understand the interaction between tidal turbines, waves, and turbulent currents in the ...

Current structure in the Rhine region of freshwater influence [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Observation with HF radar, ADCPs and conventional current meters in the Rhine ROFI system in the North Sea indicate that the dominant currents are due to tidal flow, with important contributions from winds and density-driven circulation.

Interactions between Surface Waves, Tides, and Storm-Induced Currents over Shelf Waters of the Northwest Atlantic

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
A coupled wave–tide–circulation model is used to investigate wave–current interactions (WCIs) over the shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic (NWA) during Hurricane Earl (2010). WCIs have substantial impacts on hydrodynamics in the upper ocean.

On the Early In Situ Formation of Pluto's Small Satellites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The formation of Pluto's small satellites - Styx, Nix, Keberos and Hydra - remains a mystery. Their orbits are nearly circular and are near mean-motion resonances and nearly coplanar with Charon's orbit.

Measuring the neutron star tidal deformability with equation-of-state-independent relations and gravitational waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Gravitational wave measurements of binary neutron star coalescences offer information about the properties of the extreme matter that comprises the stars. Despite our expectation that all neutron stars in the Universe obey the same equation of state, i.e.

Development of Depth-Limited Wave Boundary Layers over a Smooth Bottom

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
A theoretical and numerical study is carried out to investigate the transformation of the wave boundary layer from non-depth-limited (wave-like boundary layer) to depth-limited one (current-like boundary layer) over a smooth bottom. A long period of wave

Impacts of the Kuroshio and Tidal Currents on the Hydrological Characteristics of Yilan Bay, Northeastern Taiwan

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Yilan Bay is in the northeast corner of Taiwan at the junction of the East China Sea (ECS) and the Pacific Ocean. This study clarified the composition of water masses adjacent to Yilan Bay.

Tidal Current Energy Resource Distribution in Korea

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Korea is a very well-known country for having abundant tidal current energy resources. There are many attractive coastal areas for the tidal current power that have very strong currents due to the high tidal range and the acceleration through the narrow ...
