CFD simulation of tidal-stream turbines in a compact array

Renewable Energy, 2024, vol. 224, issue C

Abstract: An actuator-line RANS CFD model is used to simulate loads (thrust, power and flapwise bending moment) on tidal-stream turbines. Results are compared with other groups’ reported laboratory measurements for an individual 1/15-scale turbine in a rectangular flume at IFREMER and a compact 3-turbine array of similar turbines in the FloWave tank at the University of Edinburgh.
