This paper reviews key issues in the physical and numerical modelling of marine renewable
energy systems, including wave energy devices, current turbines, and offshore wind …

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 ambient turbulence intensity in the upstream flow plays a decisive role in the behaviour
of horizontal axis marine current turbines. Experimental trials, run in the IFREMER flume …

The future implantation of second generation marine current turbine arrays depends on the
understanding of the negative interaction effects that exist between turbines in close …

A detailed experimental investigation of the wake propagation behind a horizontal axis
turbine with three blades was conducted in a recirculating water flume. An Acoustic Doppler …

The results of a detailed experimental investigation of the near-wake (up to seven turbine
diameters downstream) of a model horizontal axis tidal turbine (HATT) device in a large …

The long term reliability of tidal turbines is critical if these structures are to be cost-effective.
Optimized design requires a combination of material durability models and structural …

The development of marine current turbine arrays depends on the understanding of the
interaction effects that exist between turbines in close proximity. Moreover, the ambient …

The flow around the rotor of an axial turbine, operating in the wake of an upstream one, is
resolved using large-eddy simulation on a cylindrical grid consisting of 3.8 billion points …

Research in marine current energy, including tidal and ocean currents, has undergone
significant growth in the past decade. The horizontal-axis marine current turbine is one of the …
