Tidal energy update 2009

Applied Energy, 2010
Abstract Tidal energy has the potential to play a valuable part in a sustainable energy future. It is an extremely predictable energy source, depending only on the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun and the centrifugal forces created by the rotation of the earth–moon system.

Computational Fluid Dynamics-based Simulation and Design of a Horizontal Tidal Turbine System [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Tidal phenomena, the rhythmic rise and fall of sea waters due to gravitational forces among celestial bodies like the Sun, Earth, and moon, offer a dependable source of renewable energy.

Dispatchability, Energy Security, and Reduced Capital Cost in Tidal-Wind and Tidal-Solar Energy Farms

Energies, 2021
The global tidal energy resource for electricity generation is small, and converting tidal kinetic energy to electricity is expensive compared to solar-photovoltaic or land-based wind turbine generators.

Tidal interaction in binary black hole inspiral [PDF]

, 2001
In rotating viscous fluid stars, tidal torque leads to an exchange of spin and orbital angular momentum. The horizon of a black hole has an effective viscosity that is large compared to that of stellar fluids, and an effective tidal torque may lead to ...

Scaling laws to understand tidal dissipation in fluid planetary regions and stars I - Rotation, stratification and thermal diffusivity [PDF]

, 2015
Tidal dissipation in planets and stars is one of the key physical mechanisms driving the evolution of star-planet and planet-moon systems. Several signatures of its action are observed in planetary systems thanks to their orbital architecture and the ...

Energy Localization Invariance of Tidal Work in General Relativity [PDF]

, 2000
It is well known that, when an external general relativistic (electric-type) tidal field E(t) interacts with the evolving quadrupole moment I(t) of an isolated body, the tidal field does work on the body (``tidal work'') -- i.e., it transfers energy to ...

Tidal Stabilization of Rigidly Rotating, Fully Relativistic Neutron Stars [PDF]

, 1998
It is shown analytically that an external tidal gravitational field increases the secular stability of a fully general relativistic, rigidly rotating neutron star that is near marginal stability, protecting it against gravitational collapse.

Summertime influences of tidal energy advection on the surface energy balance in a mangrove forest [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Mangrove forests are ecosystems susceptible to changing water levels and temperatures due to climate change as well as perturbations resulting from tropical storms.

Resonant Oscillations and Tidal Heating in Coalescing Binary Neutron Stars [PDF]

, 1994
Tidal interaction in a coalescing neutron star binary can resonantly excite the g-mode oscillations of the neutron star when the frequency of the tidal driving force equals the intrinsic g-mode frequencies.
