Tidal stream turbine arrays will be subject to a range of flow conditions throughout the tidal
cycle and it is important for developers to have an understanding of the impact of these on …

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

The efficiency of tidal stream turbines in a large array depends on the balance between
negative effects of turbine-wake interactions and positive effects of bypass-flow acceleration …

An actuator-line RANS CFD model is used to simulate loads (thrust, power and flapwise
bending moment) on tidal-stream turbines. Results are compared with other groups' …

The performance benefits of deploying tidal turbines in close side-by-side proximity to
exploit constructive interference effects are demonstrated experimentally using two 1.2 m …

This work investigates how turbulence in open-channel flows is altered by the passage of
surface waves by using experimental data collected with laboratory tests in a large-scale …

Hydrokinetic turbine is a clean technology that can effectively use tidal energy, the Savonius-
type runner is very suitable for natural flows, and has been widely used in tidal energy …

Tidal stream turbines (TSTs) are usually organized into an array to extract energy from tidal
stream efficiently. A deep understanding of wake structures and thrust characteristics of tidal …

Near-wake characteristics of a turbine play an important role in turbine–wake interactions
and performance assessment in turbine arrays. In this study, the near-wake flow behind a …

We present a novel 3D implementation of a horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) in the
shallow water hydrostatic code SHYFEM. The uniqueness of this work involves the blade …
