Marine renewable energy (MRE) harnesses energy from the ocean and provides a low-
carbon sustainable energy source for national grids and remote uses. The international …

Among the primary uses of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are small-scale
applications, such as electricity generation in urban areas or isolated contexts, which are not …

Cross flow hydrokinetic turbines have been considered a decent choice for riverine
applications. Under the present work, performance of hybrid rotor cross flow hydrokinetic …

Dependence of wake features of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) on Tip Speed Ratio
(TSR) is studied in the present work, using a computational approach, based on Large-Eddy …

Vertical axis wind and tidal turbines are a promising technology, well suited to harness
kinetic energy from highly turbulent environments such as urban areas or rivers. The power …

The H-Darrieus vertical axis turbine is one of the most promising wind energy converters for
locations where there are rapid variations of wind direction, such as in the built environment …

Large-Eddy Simulations are reported, dealing with an axial-flow hydrokinetic turbine
operating in the wake of an upstream one. Computations were conducted on a cylindrical …

Ocean energy extraction is on the rise. While tides are the most predictable amongst marine
renewable resources, turbulent and complex flows still challenge reliable tidal stream …

The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to energy-related problems has
increased in the last decades in both renewable and conventional energy conversion …

Vertical axis tidal turbines are devices that extract the kinetic energy from tidal currents. Tidal
currents can be highly turbulent. Since ambient turbulence affects the turbine hydrodynamic …
