Computational Analysis of Ducted Turbine Performance
This paper studies the effects of viscous loss, flow separation and base pressure for ducted turbine designs using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Analytical model coefficients for inlet and diffuser efficiency and base pressure coefficient parameterize these effects and have been identified from CFD results. General trends are: the inlet efficiency is nearly unity for the simula...
متن کاملDucted Turbine Blade Optimization Using Numerical Simulation
This paper presents a combined blade element (BE), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method for performance analysis and optimization of ducted turbines. The model is similar to standard blade element momentum theory, except that CFD replaces the momentum equation for determining the induction factors. This eliminates many assumptions used in applying the typical blade element momentum (BEM) t...
متن کاملBi-directional safety analysis of product lines
As product-line engineering becomes more widespread, more safety-critical software product lines are being built. This paper describes a structured method for performing safety analysis on a software product line, building on standard product-line assets: product-line requirements, architecture, and scenarios. The safety-analysis method is bi-directional in that it combines a forward analysis (...
متن کاملThe effect of tidal flow directionality on tidal turbine performance characteristics
With many Tidal Energy Conversion (TEC) devices at full scale prototype stage there are two distinct design groups for Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbines (HATTs). Devices with a yaw mechanism allowing the turbine to always face into the flow, and devices with blades that can rotate through 180 to harness a strongly bi-directional flow. As marine turbine technology verges on the realm of economic vi...
متن کاملHarnessing Tidal Energy Using Vertical Axis Tidal Turbine
An overview of the current design practices in the field of Renewable Energy (RE) is presented; also paper delineates the background to the development of unique and novel techniques for power generation using the kinetic energy of tidal streams and other marine currents. Also this study focuses only on vertical axis tidal turbine. Tidal stream devices have been developed as an alternative meth...
