Signatures of LCDM substructure in tidal debris

open access: yes, 2008
In the past decade, surveys of the stellar component of the Galaxy have revealed a number of streams from tidally disrupted dwarf galaxies and globular clusters.

Financial and Economic Assessment of Tidal Stream Energy—A Case Study [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Financial Studies, 2020
This case study is based on actual project and consultancy work, balancing real life experience with a review and analysis of empirical and theoretical literature. Tidal stream energy (TSE) is still a nascent technology, but with much better predictability than the classical alternatives of sun and wind.

The Orbit of the Orphan Stream [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We use recent SEGUE spectroscopy and SDSS and SEGUE imaging data to measure the sky position, distance, and radial velocities of stars in the tidal debris stream that is commonly referred to as the "Orphan Stream." We fit orbital parameters to the data ...

Advancements and challenges in tidal stream and oceanic current turbines: an overview of current technologies and future prospects

open access: yesMarine Development
Tidal power harnesses the predictable movement of ocean tides, offering a reliable source of renewable energy that can significantly contribute to global electricity generation. This paper reviews the primary approaches adopted in tidal energy, including

The nature of dwarf nova outbursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We show that if the dwarf-nova disc instability model includes the effects of heating by stream impact and tidal torque dissipation in the outer disc, the calculated properties of dwarf-nova outbursts change considerably, and several notorious ...

Experimental Analysis and Evaluation of the Numerical Prediction of Wake Characteristics of Tidal Stream Turbine

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
It is important to understand tidal stream turbine performance and flow field, if tidal energy is to advance. The operating condition of a tidal stream turbine with a supporting structure has a significant impact on its performance and wake recovery. The

Tidal Modulation of Energy Dissipation Routes in the Gulf Stream

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Gulf Stream (GS) is a powerful ocean current that is instrumental in regulating the global climate. While a correct reproduction of GS dynamics is contingent on an appropriate representation of energy dissipation, the specific role of tides in ...

The influence of waves on morphodynamic impacts of energy extraction at a tidal stream turbine site in the Pentland Firth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Extraction of energy from tidal streams has the potential to impact on the morphodynamics of areas such as sub-tidal sandbanks via alteration of hydrodynamics. Marine sediment transport is forced by both wave and tidal currents. Past work on tidal stream

Bad prospects for the detection of giant stars' tidal disruption: effect of the ambient medium on bound debris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Most massive galaxies are thought to contain a supermassive black hole in their centre surrounded by a tenuous gas environment, leading to no significant emission. In these quiescent galaxies, tidal disruption events represent a powerful detection method
