Study of a Bi-Vertical Axis Turbines Farm Using the Actuator Cylinder Method
Energies, 2021 Vertical axis turbines, which extract kinetic energy from currents, can produce electricity independently from a current’s direction. Hence, this type of turbines raises interest for harvesting energy from tidal currents, where flow changes direction ...

Blockage Corrections for Tidal Turbines—Application to an Array of Turbines in the Alderney Race
Energies, 2022 Tidal turbines are located in shallow water depths in comparison to their dimensions (15 m-diameter turbines in 40 m depths, typically). Constrained vertically by the water depth and laterally by neighbouring turbines, the flow within a tidal farm is ...
