Amplification and suppression of internal waves by tides over variable bottom topography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The energy exchange between internal waves and barotropic currents over inclined bottom topography is studied theoretically and in the framework of the numerical model. The energy balance equation derived for a continuously stratified fluid predicts that

Innovative on-Shore System recovering Energy from Tidal Currents

open access: yesEnergy Procedia, 2017
Abstract An innovative system for the recovering of energy from tidal currents is proposed. The system is composed of a blade submerged in sea waters and connected to a vertical bar which, moving up and down through the tide action, transfers energy to a double effect piston pump.

Modeling Evaluation of Tidal Stream Energy and the Impacts of Energy Extraction on Hydrodynamics in the Taiwan Strait

open access: yesEnergies, 2013
Tidal stream speeds in straits are accelerated because of geographic and bathymetric features. For instance, narrow channels and shallows can cause high tidal stream energy.

Inflating and Deflating Hot Jupiters: Coupled Tidal and Thermal Evolution of Known Transiting Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We examine the radius evolution of close-in giant planets with a planet evolution model that couples the orbital-tidal and thermal evolution. For 45 transiting systems, we compute a large grid of cooling/contraction paths forward in time, starting from a

TIDAL CURRENT ENERGY AN OVERVIEW

open access: yesInternational Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2015
Ocean currents are an enormous source of green energy. This energy from marine currents can be extracted by means of tidal turbines. This paper explains different types of tidal current turbines. This paper discusses about tidal energy and site selection criteria for tidal current turbine in general.

Tidal current energy resource assessment in Ireland: Current status and future update

open access: yesRenewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2010
Interest in renewable energy in Ireland has increased continually over the past decade. This interest is due primarily to security of supply issues and the effects of climate change. Ireland imports over 90% of its primary energy consumption, mostly in the form of fossil fuels. The exploitation of Ireland's vast indigenous renewable energy resources is
