Tidal current energy technology is gradually maturing and transitioning towards large-scale
development. The vision for tidal energy development is similar to wind farms, involving the …

Coupled blade element momentum-computational fluid dynamic (BEM-CFD) approaches
have been extensively used to study tidal stream turbine performance and wake …

Array research of tidal turbine is critical to make it cost-effective and commercializing. There
are many studies of turbine arrays, which mostly focus on a conventional horizontal-axis …

An actuator line method (ALM) code is used to investigate the yaw motion of tidal stream
turbines, using different induced frequencies, amplitudes and starting angles. The relative …

To improve knowledge of the unsteady hydrodynamic characteristics of a floating horizontal-
axis tidal turbine (HATT) in complex marine environments, a computational fluid dynamics …

This paper presents an extensive examination of the wake characteristics and hydrodynamic
performance of a 1: 60 scale horizontal axis tidal stream turbine under yawed inflow …

Social and political concerns on climate change have made renewable energy an essential
component of government's work plans. Grid-connected horizontal-axis hydrokinetic …

Study on the performance of the tidal stream turbines could greatly improve tidal stream
energy development. Up to date, few studies about the twin-rotor horizontal axis tidal …

When two horizontal rotors are put side-by-side, with slight gaps between them (less than
two diameters), the flow velocity near the centerline is higher than the free stream. In this …

Most tidal turbines experimental tests are carried out in idealised conditions with uniform
velocity profiles and without flow misalignment. However, at sea, the velocity profiles are …
