Improved Blade Design for Tidal Current Turbines [PDF]
Energies, 2020 The efficiency and reliability of blades are key indicators for a tidal current turbine (TCT). A traditional blade design is often an empirical design on hydrodynamics and structure, sequentially. A hydrofoil with a low lift–drag ratio is considered when the structural strength cannot satisfy requirements. However, efficiency is then sacrificed.

Unsteady wake modelling for tidal current turbines [PDF]
IET Renewable Power Generation, 2011 The authors present a numerical model for three-dimensional unsteady wake calculations for tidal turbines. Since wakes are characterised by the shedding of a vortex sheet from the rotor blades, the model is based on the vorticity transport equations. A vortex sheet may be considered a jump contact discontinuity in tangential velocity with, in inviscid ...
