One of the main hydrodynamic phenomena in hydrokinetic turbine operation is the formation
of a spiral movement after the flow passes through the rotor, which is known as the wake …

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 …

To capture tidal current energy to the greatest extent possible, the turbines must to be large
in-scale. When the turbine is close to the free surface, with high energy-flow density …

This special issue includes the selected papers from the proceedings of the 7th International
Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE2015), which was successfully held during March 28 …

Abstract The Helical Savonius hydrokinetic turbines (HSHKT) are regarded as the
beneficiary equipment to increase the power generation in low head rivers. This study …

Since the underwater impurity and cavitation could have a significant impact on the
aerodynamic performance of tidal turbine blade airfoil, it is necessary to consider both …

Excessive fore-aft vibrations of wind turbine tower are the major reason for tower collapsing,
which can be evaluated using the equivalent fatigue load (EFL). Wake effects are generated …

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

Many efforts have been made to enhance the hydrokinetic turbines' energy efficiency,
extracting the energy from the flowing water in the canal and river. Savonius hydrokinetic …

In the present study, the hydrodynamic performance of cavitating and non-cavitating marine
current turbines (MCTs) has been investigated by blade element momentum theory (BEMT) …
