Interest in the advancement of hydrokinetic energy conversion (HEC) technology has grown
substantially in recent years. The hydrokinetic industry has advanced beyond the initial …

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 …

The presence of the wind-waves enhances the flow turbulent complexity and modifies the
dynamic behaviour of the tidal-stream turbine and causes extra challenges for its …

A detailed experimental investigation of the wake propagation behind a horizontal axis
turbine with three blades was conducted in a recirculating water flume. An Acoustic Doppler …

This study examined how the wake of a scaled turbine was changed by a bypass using
three different water depths with the hub at mid-depth, and one water depth with the hub at …

A deep insight into wake of a tidal stream turbine can be essential to make tidal stream
energy commercially viable. This study is to experimentally investigate downstream field of a …

Anticipating the power output of tidal-stream turbines (TSTs) is relevant for its technological
advance and success. Therefore, it is important to clarify the behavior of TSTs under tidal …

Laboratory testing of tidal turbine models is an essential tool to investigate hydrodynamic
interactions between turbines and the flow. Such tests can be used to calibrate numerical …

Tidal turbines are deployed in sites which have elevated levels of free stream turbulence
(FST). Accounting for elevated FST on their operation become vital from a design standpoint …

Until recently tidal stream turbine design has been carried out mainly by experimental
prototype testing aiming at maximum turbine efficiency. The harsh and highly turbulent …
