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 …

The ambient turbulence intensity in the upstream flow plays a decisive role in the behaviour
of horizontal axis marine current turbines. Experimental trials, run in the IFREMER flume …

Laboratory scale testing of tidal turbines has generated valuable datasets to support
optimised turbine design and numerical model validation. However, tidal sites are highly …

Temporal variability in renewable energy presents a major challenge for electrical grid
systems. Tides are considered predictable due to their regular periodicity; however, the …

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 …
