چکیده مقاله:

Tidal energy is the most foreseeable form of renewable energy. Tidal energy can be harnessed by tidal barrage, tidal fence and tidal current technologies. Present efforts are focused on diffuser augmented tidal turbines that exploit the kinetic energy of the tidal currents. The power output by a tidal turbine is directly proportional to the cube of velocity of incoming fluid flow. Thus, even a minor increase in velocity considerably increases the power output. The diffuser helps accelerate the incoming fluid flow. Hence, the efficiency of the turbine is substantially increased by using a diffuser. Many research groups are investing considerable time and financial resources in this emerging domain. Limited results are available for diffuser augmented tidal turbines due to their emerging nature, large and costly research and development setup, startup cost and proprietary issues. The purpose of this paper is to study NACA 0015 airfoil for diffuser design for tidal current turbines. Numerical simulation of the diffuser is carried out to check the velocity and mass flow rate at throat. The drag, for various NACA 0015 diffuser models, is also calculated on the diffuser.

Design and testing of a contra-rotating tidal current turbine

A contra-rotating marine current turbine has a number of attractive features: near-zero reactive torque on the support structure, near-zero swirl in the wake, and high relative interrotor rotational speeds. Modified blade element modelling theory has been used to design and predict the characteristics of such a turbine, and a model turbine and test rig have been constructed. Tests in a towing t...

Verification of a CFD solver in near ground effect for aerodynamic behavior of airfoil NACA 0015

Numerical investigation was performed on NACA 0015 which is a symmetric airfoil. Pressure distribution and then lift and drag forces are verified. Changing of ground clearance was a considerable point. Also the angle of attack was changed from 0° to 10°. Pressure coefficient reaches its higher amounts on the wing lower surface when the ground clearance diminishes. Increment of the angle of atta...
