Abstract Design and performance analysis of hydraulic turbines are two very crucial aspects
of any hydro power project which ensure economical and efficient functioning of these …

Wind energy plays a vital role in the development sustainable energy due to its vast
availability, commercially ready technology, low cost, and great contribution to CO 2 …

The manuscript investigates aerodynamic performance of an airborne wind turbine with
varying shell configurations in an effort to elaborate the influence of shell aerodynamics on …

For ships with conventional propellers, the body force method is one of the main methods for
self-propulsion research due to its high computational efficiency. However, when it comes to …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are performed on a Vertical Axis Hydrokinetic
Turbine (VAHT) at two different solidities, so as to enable a more complete physical …

A steady-state Actuator force model using the RANS equations is developed to calculate the
power production and the flow through arrays of tidal or river Darrieus turbines. It uses …

The interactions between ships and propellers interfere with the performance of both. This
paper aims to discuss the current methods of modeling ship–propeller interactions using …

The paper presents the effect of fluctuating yaw angle and wind speed on the performance
of a horizontal axis airborne wind turbine of three different shell shapes for the high altitude …

As the use of Darrieus turbines in water is becoming increasingly popular in the field of
renewable energy, it is essential to explore and evaluate existing research efforts. The …

Due to the Venturi effect caused by a diffuser, which speed-up the velocity through the rotor,
shrouded turbines are able to exceed the Betz-Joukowsky limit if the power coefficient is …
