Tidal current turbine is one of the innovative and emerging technologies of marine
renewable energies because it offers constant and predictable energy source that can be …

Interest in the advancement of hydrokinetic energy conversion (HEC) technology has grown
substantially in recent years. The hydrokinetic industry has advanced beyond the initial …

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 …

Ocean energy has many forms, encompassing tides, surface waves, ocean circulation,
salinity and thermal gradients. This paper will considers two of these, namely those found in …

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 …

This paper presents our initial work in performing large-eddy simulations of tidal turbine
array flows. First, a horizontally periodic precursor simulation is performed to create turbulent …

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 …

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 actuator disc-RANS model has widely been used in wind and tidal energy to predict the
wake of a horizontal axis turbine. The model is appropriate where large-scale effects of the …

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 …
