ACTUATOR-LINE CFD MODELLING OF TIDAL-STREAM TURBINES
CFD modelling of tidal turbines is described. For computational efficiency rotors are represented by rotating actuator lines and nacelles by partially-blocked cells. The computational implementation includes an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach to free-surface movement for wave motion.

Optimization of Airfoil Shape for aBidirectional Tidal Stream Turbine
A tidal turbine design needs to consider the harsh environment of the sea. Reducing the number of moving parts is therefore desirable. A tidal stream is relatively predictable with small directional variance. To avoid a yaw gear an attractive option is to instead use a reversible airfoil, allowing the turbine to operate in both ebb and tide.

Control of an axial flow tidal stream turbine [PDF]
Tidal stream turbines have the potential to generate electricity from a renewable source that is highly predictable and non-polluting. The United Kingdom’s geographical location means that it has one of the most significant wave and tidal resources in the world. The implications of controlling horizontal axial flow, variable speed tidal stream turbines
