Performance of Bi-Directional Blades for Tidal Current Turbines

Volume 1C, Symposia: Fundamental Issues and Perspectives in Fluid Mechanics; Industrial and Environmental Applications of Fluid Mechanics; Issues and Perspectives in Automotive Flows; Gas-Solid Flows: Dedicated to the Memory of Professor Clayton T. Crowe; Numerical Methods for Multiphase Flow; Transport Phenomena in Energy Conversion From Clean and Sustainable Resources; Transport Phenomena in Materials Processing and Manufacturing Processes, 2014
Horizontal-Axis Tidal Current Turbines can utilize bi-directional blades which operate well in both directions in a reversing flow, avoiding the use of yaw or pitch mechanisms, thus reducing initial and maintenance costs. A “class” of bi-directional hydrofoil shapes was designed, and studied numerically using OpenFOAM, and one foil with favorable ...

The Design and Optimization of the Diversion-Type Tidal Current Turbine

Key Engineering Materials, 2011
For the actual low velocity flow ocean condition of tidal station, in order to obtain the clean and sustainable energy more efficiently, a diversion-type tidal current turbine, which can poly water flow under low velocity condition and achieve the function of adaptive convection, was designed. This research created the 3D model of the turbine structure,
