Hydrokinetic energy conversion devices provide the facility to capture energy from water
flow without the need of large dams, impoundments, channels or deviation of the water as in …

Marine hydrokinetic turbine, when operating in a shallow channel is subjected to the
boundary proximity effects from a deformable free surface on top and the channel bottom. A …

This paper aims to enhance through two-dimensional numerical CFD simulations the
hydrodynamic performance of a low cut-in speed current Vertical Axis Tidal Turbine (VATT) …

Portable micro-hydrokinetic turbines are designed and characterized using computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The two equation k–ω shear-stress transport (SST) …

Tidal stream turbines (TST) deployed in open-water energetic sites are often unintentionally
at yaw to the incoming flow that causes performance degradation and deflection of the wake …

Turbulent non-homogenous flow environments at high-energy tidal sites lead to variation in
power performance of tidal stream turbines. In addition, non-uniform loading due to …

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

Abstract Design methods and concepts that can increase the energy conversion efficiency of
marine and river current turbines are of great importance for the development and wider …
