Potential environmental impact of tidal energy extraction in the Pentland Firth at large spatial scales : results of a biogeochemical model [PDF]
, 2016 A model study was carried out of the potential large-scale (> 100 km) effects of marine renewable tidal energy generation in the Pentland Firth, using the 3-D hydrodynamics–biogeochemistry model GETM-ERSEM-BFM.

Tidal Streams as Probes of the Galactic Potential [PDF]
, 1998 We explore the use of tidal streams from Galactic satellites to recover the potential of the Milky Way. Our study is motivated both by the discovery of the first lengthy stellar stream in the halo (\cite{it98}) and by the prospect of measuring proper ...

A Tidal Hydrodynamic Model for Cook Inlet, Alaska, to Support Tidal Energy Resource Characterization
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Cook Inlet in Alaska has been identified as a prime site in the U.S. for potential tidal energy development, because of its enormous tidal power potential that accounts for nearly one-third of the national total. As one important step to facilitate tidal

Modelling effects of tidal currents on waves at a tidal stream energy site [PDF]
Renewable Energy, 2017 Whereas tidal stream energy sites may be characterised by significant wave and current interactions, numerical resource assessments routinely ignored these processes neglecting, in particular, current-induced modifications of waves. Here, these effects are investigated in locations exposed to ocean waves, evaluating performances of a phase-averaged ...

Detectability of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles in the Sagittarius Dwarf Tidal Stream
, 2003 Tidal streams of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) may be showering dark matter onto the solar system and contributing approx (0.3--23)% of the local density of our Galactic Halo. If the Sagittarius galaxy contains WIMP dark matter, the extra

Exploring Marine Energy Potential in the UK Using a Whole Systems Modelling Approach
Energies, 2017 The key market drivers for marine energy are to reduce carbon emissions, and improve the security and sustainability of supply. There are other technologies that also meet these requirements, and therefore the marine energy market is dependent on the ...

Contra-rotating marine current turbines : single point tethered floating system - stabilty and performance [PDF]
, 2009 The Energy Systems Research Unit within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde has developed a novel contra-rotating tidal turbine (CoRMaT). A series of tank and sea tests have led to the development and deployment of a

Extragalactic stellar tidal streams in the Dark Energy Survey
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Stellar tidal streams are a key tracer of galaxy evolution and have the potential to provide an indirect means for tracing dark matter. For the Local Group, many diffuse substructures have been identified and their link to galaxy evolution has been traced.
