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 …

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 …

Multiple hydrokinetic turbines in three array configurations were characterized
computationally by employing Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The …

Predicting hydrokinetic turbine power generation is difficult due to complex geometry, highly
