DOI: 10.1016/j.energy.2019.06.041
Abstract: This study analyses the aerodynamic performance of two unidirectional-radial-air-turbine configurations; inflow and outflow. These turbines were studied as the Power-Take-Off unit for application on a vented-OWC and a conventional-bidirectional-OWC with a twin-turbine topology, forming four… read more here.
