Abstract: Abstract The presence of the wind-waves enhances the flow turbulent complexity and modifies the dynamic behaviour of the tidal-stream turbine and causes extra challenges for its performance and survivability. A sign of these effects is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2019.106571
Abstract: Abstract Seabed scour induced by a pile-supported horizontal axis tidal stream turbine is likely to cause structural instability. Therefore, it's significant to gain an insight into scour process around a tidal stream turbine to make… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jmse7100362
Abstract: This paper documents the predictive capability of rotating blade-resolved unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) computations for tidal stream turbine performance and intermediate wake characteristics. Ansys/Fluent and OpenFOAM simulations… read more here.
