Effect of Wavelength on Turbine Performances and Vortical Wake Flows for Various Submersion Depths
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringWhen tidal turbines are deployed in water areas with significant waves, assessing the surface wave effects becomes imperative. Understanding the dynamic impact of wave–current conditions on the fluid dynamic performance of tidal turbines is crucial. This

Spanwise flow corrections for tidal turbines
International Marine Energy Journal, 2018 Actuator line computations of two different tidal turbine rotor designs are presented over a range of tip speed ratios. To account for the reduction in blade loading on the outboard sections of these rotor designs, a spanwise flow correction is applied ...

Optimal design of a tidal turbine
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2012 An optimal design procedure has been applied to improve the design of an open-center tidal turbine. A specific software developed in C++ enables to generate the geometry adapted to the specific constraints imposed to this machine. Automatic scripts based on the AUTOGRID, IGG, FINE/TURBO and CFView software of the NUMECA CFD suite are used to evaluate ...

, 2014 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 ...

Design of a Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine for Less Energetic Current Velocity Profiles
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 Existing installations of tidal-stream turbines are undertaken in energetic sites with flow speeds greater than 2 m/s. Sites with lower velocities will produce far less power and may not be as economically viable when using “conventional” ...

The Potential of Tidal Energy Production in a Narrow Channel: The Gulf of Morbihan
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringThe tidal currents of the Gulf of Morbihan reach up to 3.5 m/s within a narrow (200 m large) channel connecting the sea to the inner part of the gulf. In this study, a Telemac2D model validated with a large dataset of field measurements is used to assess
