This paper presents a reanalysis of four axial‐flow rotor simulation datasets to study the
relationship between thrust and axial induction factor. We concentrate on high‐thrust …

The tidal turbine benchmarking project, funded by the UK's EPSRC and the Supergen ORE
Hub, has conducted a large laboratory scale experiment on a highly instrumented 1.6 m …

In a large-eddy simulation (LES) approach, the sub-grid scale (SGS) model accounts for the
contribution of eddies and their fluxes whose length scales are smaller than the filter width …

The blade element momentum (BEM) method is a widely used non-linear model for the
efficient performance evaluation and design of wind turbines. The aim of this paper is to …

The current study presents numerical results on three tidal turbine models (two in front, one
downstream) interacting in a turbulent upstream flow. The numerical results come from a …

Tidal turbines with morphing blades could increases the mean time to failure of turbine
blades and drive trains by mitigating power and loads fluctuations associated with the larger …

Abstract The University of New Hampshire (UNH) and XFlow Energy jointly designed and
built a scale axial-flow turbine (AFT) test bed under the Atlantic Marine Energy Center …

A 22m diameter utility-scale tidal turbine is developed and used for the study of anisotropic
local blockage effects. Simulations using Large Eddy Simulation with an embedded actuator …
