A two and three-dimensional CFD investigation into performance prediction and wake characterisation of a vertical axis turbine
(AIP Publishing, 2018-05-24)
The emergence of tidal energy as a key renewable energy source requires the development of computational design models for accurate prediction of turbine performance and wake effects whilst also being computationally ...
A CFD investigation of a variable-pitch vertical axis hydrokinetic turbine with incorporated flow acceleration
(Springer, 2019-02-18)
This paper presents the numerical modelling of a novel vertical axis tidal turbine that incorporates localised flow acceleration and variable-pitch blades. The focus is to develop a computational fluid dynamics model of a ...
An experimental study of a flow-accelerating hydrokinetic device
(SAGE Publications, 2018-05-01)
Tidal energy researchers and developers use experimental testing of scaled devices as a method of evaluating device performance. Much of the focus to date has been on horizontal axis turbines. This study is focused on a ...
