This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

The aging of polymer-composites is a ubiquitous problem that leads to the degradation of
mechanical properties, reducing the service life of an engineered structure, and …

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 …

Laboratory scale testing of tidal turbines has generated valuable datasets to support
optimised turbine design and numerical model validation. However, tidal sites are highly …

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 …

Understanding the wake interactions among turbines is important for develo** efficient
tidal farm configurations. The present study compares the power and wake generated by a 2 …

Wind turbine wake modelling is of crucial importance to accurate resource assessment, to
layout optimisation, and to the operational control of wind farms. This work proposes a …

Hydrokinetic power as a clean renewable energy has been aroused a widespread concern.
Horizontal axis turbines are widely used in the field of tidal and river current energy power …

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 …

Placing mechanical devices into fast-moving tidal streams to generate clean and predictable
electricity is a develo** technology. This review covers the fundamental fluid mechanics of …
