As an abundant, clean, and predictable source of renewable energy, tidal current energy
provides a cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels. Tidal current energy harvesting …

A considerable body of research is currently being performed to quantify available tidal
energy resources and to develop efficient devices with which to harness them. This work is …

Much of the global tidal current energy resource lies in the accelerated flows along narrow
channels. These channels have the potential to produce 10–1000 s of MW of electricity …

The Betz limit sets a theoretical upper limit for the power production by turbines expressed
as a maximum power coefficient of 16/27. While power production by wind turbines falls …

This paper explores the influence of blockage and free-surface deformation on the
hydrodynamic performance of a generic marine cross-flow turbine. Flows through a three …

With the increasing concern of global warming, the importance of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions has been accepted worldwide. Realizing the contribution of conventional energy …

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the influence of solidity on the
hydrodynamics of a generic tidal cross-flow turbine. Flows through two-and fourbladed …

As the use of Darrieus turbines in water is becoming increasingly popular in the field of
renewable energy, it is essential to explore and evaluate existing research efforts. The …

Cross-flow turbines harness kinetic energy in wind or moving water. Due to their unsteady
fluid dynamics, it can be difficult to predict the interplay between aspects of rotor geometry …

The performance characteristics of two cross-flow axis hydrokinetic turbines were evaluated
in UNH's tow and wave tank. A 1m diameter, 1.25 m (nominal) height three-bladed Gorlov …
