Abstract: Horizontal-axis hydrokinetic water turbines (HAHWT) represent a cost-effective and low-maintenance opportunity for hydropower generation in low-velocity channels. To enhance understanding of the potentiality of an original HAHWT prototype working at high blockage operations (e.g. tidal channels, man-made water infrastructure, offshore energy platforms), an experimental and numerical investigation was carried out to assess its performance curves under sub-critical flow conditions.
