"Blowin' in the Wind" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
open1noThe title of this article may suggest that it constitutes a tribute to the recent Nobel Prize in Literature and a sweet remembrance of bour 20s for those of us who are now in our 60s. That could be the case.

Ocean Energy: Using the Ocean's Tides, Waves, and Heat to Generate Electricity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Key facts: - The oceans' tides, waves, current, and heat can be used to generate electricity. These resources are renewable, because the moon's gravity drives tides, and winds create waves.

Impact of environmental turbulence on the performance and loadings of a tidal stream turbine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A large-eddy simulation (LES) of a laboratory-scale horizontal axis tidal stream turbine operating over an irregular bathymetry in the form of dunes is performed.

Tidal turbine array modelling

open access: yes, 2016
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used in this thesis to model wind and tidal stream turbines and to investigate tidal turbine fence performance. There are two primary objectives of this work. The first is to develop and validate an actuator line method for the simulation of wind and tidal turbines which applies the blade forces to the flow field ...

Large Eddy Simulation Of Tidal Turbines

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding of hydrodynamics involved in the ow around tidal turbines is essential to enhance their performance and resilience, as they are designed to operate in harsh marine environments. During their lifespan, they are subjected to high velocities with large levels of turbulence that demand their design to be greatly optimised.

Tidal turbines that survive?

open access: yes, 2009
Tidal turbines offer an exciting opportunity to exploit ocean current flows to generate sustainable energy. However, a key to their success is the ability to operate with minimal intervention in the ocean over extended periods (15-20 years). This talk explored the likely design and operational issues that will influence satisfactory performance ...

Effects of Support Structures in an LES Actuator Line Model of a Tidal Turbine with Contra-Rotating Rotors

open access: yesEnergies, 2017
Computational fluid dynamics is used to study the impact of the support structure of a tidal turbine on performance and the downstream wake characteristics.
