Highly energetic turbulent flow structures are observed in strong tidal flows. If they are
suspected to result from interactions between the flow and the seabed morphology, the …

In this investigation, instrumented mobile platforms are used to spatially map the turbulent
flows in Grand Passage, one of the Bay of Fundy's more energetic tidal channels in Nova …

Turbulence is a crucial flow phenomenon for tidal energy converters (TECs), as it influences
both the peak loads they experience and their fatigue life. To best mitigate its effects we must …

Numerical models have been widely used for the resource characterization and assessment
of tidal instream energy. The accurate assessment of tidal stream energy resources at a …

In this numerical study a tidal turbine in straight and yawed flows is simulated using the
actuator line (AL) method coupled with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulence for the …

In this numerical study, the standard actuator line method is modified for simulating ducted
tidal turbines and validated against experimental data for two turbines with different …

Marine hydrokinetic (MHK) power generation systems enable harvesting energy from
waterways without the need for water impoundment. A major research challenge for …

In the present scenario of renewable energy, there is growing interest in harnessing tidal
energy resources in India. Converting the energy through the tidal range into electricity has …

CFD models of marine turbines often assumes constant depth. However, the presence of
seabed bathymetry creates a significantly complex flow environment. In this paper, the …

Tidal energy is a promising form of renewable energy in which Nova Scotia, Canada, has a
distinct advantage since, the Bay of Fundy is one of the world's best tidal resources …
