Optimization of hydrofoils for a bidirectional tidal stream turbine
Abstract Tidal stream turbines present an appealing approach for consistent renewable energy generation. Capitalizing on the periodic nature of tidal streams, these turbines can be designed to function bidirectionally, eliminating the need for a yaw control system.

The use of computational fluid dynamics in the optimisation of marine current turbines
, 2007 The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in research and development in industry has become much more commonplace. Technological advances have improved the accuracy of codes although this is at the expense of computational power.

A multi-scale analytical model for the performance of a tidal stream array in a tidal channel
Assessing the tidal resource is central to the feasibility analysis of any development of tidal stream turbines. This is true for the CoTide project which seeks to optimise the design of tidal stream turbines by building an integrated design tool ...

Investigating the impact of multi-rotor structure shadowing on tidal stream turbine performance
As the tidal stream energy sector develops, reducing the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) is essential to sustain commercialisation. Modular multi-rotor foundations, with bi-directional turbines, reduce offshore operational complexity through smaller ...

The Influence of Waves on Tidal Stream Turbine Arrays
, 2016 The aim of this research was to quantify the influence of waves on arrays of tidal turbines. Experiments measured the wake of a turbine operating in combined wave-current flows, these were found to reduce velocity deficit as opposed to current only flow. The vertical region of the wake affected was dependant on the wave depth parameter, kd.RANS-BEM and
