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 …

In laboratory experiments involving wind or water turbines, it is often desirable to correct
measured performance for the effects of model blockage. However, there has been limited …

Small tidal turbines are considered economical and reliable for distributed electricity
generation. Low initial cost and ease of installation make them cover all sides of the …

The efficiency of tidal stream turbines in a large array depends on the balance between
negative effects of turbine-wake interactions and positive effects of bypass-flow acceleration …

Vertical-axis hydrokinetic turbines are promising option to harness the low velocity currents.
However, limited investigations have been carried out considering the interactions between …

A key hydrodynamic difference between tidal current and wind turbines is the volume-flux
constrained flow field in which tidal turbines operate and the resulting streamwise static …

Cross-flow turbines convert kinetic power in wind or water currents to mechanical power.
Unlike axial-flow turbines, the influence of geometric parameters on turbine performance is …

The present study aimed to explore the applicability of Darrius hydrokinetic turbine (HKT)
curbed inside a closed conduit, ie, in-pipe hydropower system. Six numbers of 3-and 4 …

We conduct performance analyses of a family of vertical axis water turbines (VAWTs) under
single-phase water and two-phase open channel flow conditions using unsteady Reynolds …

Cross-flow turbine performance is sensitive to multiple dimensionless parameters, including
the Reynolds number, blockage ratio, and Froude number, based on both turbine …
