This paper presents a qualitative and quantitative comparison between the finite element
and the finite volume methods for the fluid-structure interaction simulation of blood flow …

Horizontal axis tidal turbines (HATT) conversion of ocean tidal waves into electricity
represents a promising source of clean and sustainable energy. However, the widespread …

A counter-rotating tidal turbine can balance the axial torque and accelerate the wake
recovery, leading to a more conducive array layout. This paper aims to investigate the …

Tidal turbine arrays are planed to be installed in areas with strong currents where the flow
can often be sheared throughout the water column. To study the shear flow effects on tidal …

CFD models perform rigid body simulations and ignore the hydroelastic behavior of turbine
blades. In reality, the tidal turbine blades deform due to the onset flow. Deformation of the …

This paper presents the results of hydrodynamic performance and wake assessment for a
horizontal axis tidal current turbine. The three-dimensional instantaneous flow field is …

As the world moves to a greater reliance on renewable energy, a vital component will be the
predictability and dependability of the energy source; tidal energy provides such a solution …

Flexibility plays a crucial role in the design and performance of modern rotors. Its impact on
rotor performance and its ability to adapt to external flow disturbances are well-established …

We present, for the first time, the mean deflection evolution of a flexible rotor blade using a
coupled model based on Navier–Stokes equations, for the fluid flow, and linear elasticity …

Tidal current turbines operate in a highly turbulent environment, which results in significant
fluctuations in unsteady loads and consequent fatigue and dynamic failures in the rotor …
