Recently, the output of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) prediction on tidal stream
turbine systems has been receiving great attention owing to the vast and untapped tidal …

Turbulence and waves interactions are present in tidal streams ensuing the poorly
comprehended unsteady state. To clarify several aspects of the wave influence on the flow …

Malaysia has a great potential to harness energy in water due to its long coastline within the
South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca. Malaysia's energy mix could be improved using …

One of the most essential parameters contributing to the performance of hydrokinetic tidal
current turbine is its geometry. In this study, the effect of curvature, thickness, and blade pitch …

Tidal turbines are subject to large hydrodynamic loads from combinations of currents and
waves, which contribute significantly to fatigue, extreme loading and power flow …

A deep insight into wake of a tidal stream turbine can be essential to make tidal stream
energy commercially viable. This study is to experimentally investigate downstream field of a …

Velocity measurements collected by an upward-looking acoustic Doppler current profiler
were used to provide the first study of ambient turbulence in Alderney Race. Turbulence …

A large-eddy simulation (LES) of a laboratory-scale horizontal axis tidal stream turbine
operating over an irregular bathymetry in the form of dunes is performed. The Reynolds …

Until recently tidal stream turbine design has been carried out mainly by experimental
prototype testing aiming at maximum turbine efficiency. The harsh and highly turbulent …

The flow developed on a tidal site can be characterized by combinations of turbulence,
shear flows, and waves. Horizontal-axis tidal turbines are therefore subjected to dynamic …
