Modelling a Tidal Turbine in Unsteady Flow
A brief review of the literature is provided on the characteristics of marine currents and the approaches used for simulating tidal turbines. The feasibility of using CFD models to simulate time-dependent turbulent flow around a tidal turbine is then explored. Two different approaches for specifying the structure of the turbulent inflow conditions in CFD models are compared: the von Kármán spec...
متن کاملCFD Wake Modelling with a BEM Wind Turbine Sub-Model
Modelling of wind farms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) resolving the flow field around each wind turbine’s blades on a moving computational grid is still too costly and time consuming in terms of computational capacity and effort. One strategy is to use sub-models for the wind turbines, and sub-grid models for turbulence production and dissipation to model the turbulent viscosity accu...
متن کاملExperimental Analysis and Evaluation of the Numerical Prediction of Wake Characteristics of Tidal Stream Turbine
It is important to understand tidal stream turbine performance and flow field, if tidal energy is to advance. The operating condition of a tidal stream turbine with a supporting structure has a significant impact on its performance and wake recovery. The aim of this work is to provide an understanding of turbine submerged depth that governs the downstream wake structure and its recovery to the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the swirl characteristics of a tidal stream turbine wake
Tidal stream turbines (TSTs) produce a rotating downstream wake. This paper describes the characteristics of the swirl flow in the wake of a TST with a view of comparing these against classical swirl theory and investigating whether swirl is an important factor in wake recovery prediction. Using computational fluid dynamics the paper describes the characteristics of velocities, pressure drop, v...
