Experimental assessment of tidal turbine loading from irregular waves over a tidal cycle

S Draycott, J Steynor, A Nambiar, B Sellar… - Journal of Ocean …, 2019 - Springer
Waves interact with currents in tidal channels with the resulting wave–current environment
largely determining the loads experienced by tidal stream turbines. Over a tidal cycle, the …

Three-dimensional unsteady hydrodynamic modelling of tidal turbines

A Smyth, A Young - 2020 - repository.cam.ac.uk
Predicting the response of a tidal turbine to unsteady inflow conditions is a challenge for
turbine designers, with consequences for fatigue life and manufacturing costs. The unsteady …
