Placing mechanical devices into fast-moving tidal streams to generate clean and predictable
electricity is a developing technology. This review covers the fundamental fluid mechanics of …

Tidal current energy is regarded as a promising renewable energy with strong predictability
and high energy density advantages. Tidal current power generation farm (TCPGF) planning …

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 …

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 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 …

Abstract A Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) model has been compared with
laboratory scale measurements of the loading and wake of arrays of horizontal axis three …

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 …

Abstract Design of efficient tidal arrays relies on the adopted spacing between turbines and
their mutual interplay. Turbines affected by wake shadowing operate in harsher flow …

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 …

Tidal current turbines have the potential to make a considerable contribution to renewable
energy supplies. However, the potential for utility-scale deployments will depend not only on …
