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 …

Recently, the output of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) prediction on tidal stream
turbine systems has been receiving great attention owing to the vast and untapped tidal …

Tidal turbines are subject to large hydrodynamic loads from combinations of currents and
waves, which contribute significantly to fatigue, extreme loading and power flow …

This study investigates the implications of wave–current interaction on the dynamic
responses of the W2Power semisubmersible platform for floating offshore wind turbines …

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 …

There is an increase in the utilization of the floating offshore structure (FOS) called Catenary
Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) buoys and the attached marine hoses due to the increasing …

The flow developed on a tidal site can be characterized by combinations of turbulence,
shear flows, and waves. Horizontal-axis tidal turbines are therefore subjected to dynamic …

Before initiating a study on the interaction of multiple wakes, it is imperative that turbine
wake hydrodynamics are studied in isolation. In this paper CFD computer simulations of …

Sustainable and cost effective design for tidal current turbines requires knowledge of the
complex nature of unsteady loads on turbine components including blades, rotor and …

Tidal energy exploitation is at an early deployment stage and costs need to be reduced to
improve the long term economic viability of the sector. High costs of tidal turbines are, in part …
