Tidal current turbines have the potential to make a considerable contribution to renewable
energy supplies. However, the potential for utility-scale deployments will depend not only on …

The presence of the wind-waves enhances the flow turbulent complexity and modifies the
dynamic behaviour of the tidal-stream turbine and causes extra challenges for its …

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 …

Savonius turbine presents an attractive, environmentally friendly and cost effective electric
generation in low velocity regions. However, this turbine has not been fully explored, as …

High-speed railway lines are widely distributed worldwide. The surrounding wind
environment of such railway lines is complex, which significantly affects the safety of high …

This paper presents results from numerical simulations of a 3-bladed horizontal axis tidal
stream turbine. Initially, Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) k–ω Shear Stress …

Fluctuating loads on tidal turbines are important for fatigue analysis and there is limited
information or simulation available for full-scale conditions. Here, CFD simulations have …

In the present work, the aerodynamic performance of the Caradonna and Tung and S-76 in
hover were investigated using a simplified concept of multiple reference frame (MRF) …

The mean wake of a three-bladed horizontal axis tidal stream turbine operating at maximum
power coefficient has been investigated experimentally in a wide flume with width 11 times …

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 …
