Anti-cavitation optimal design and experimental research on tidal turbines based on improved inverse BEM

ZhaoCheng Sun et al.

Summary: This paper presents a revised theoretical analysis of hydrodynamics optimization of horizontal-axis tidal turbines, including cavitation effects, based on improved inverse blade element momentum (BEM) theory. The cavitation prediction model and improved inverse BEM theory are combined, and a mathematical model of multi-objective optimization is established to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The simulation and experimental results revealed that the proposed design method achieves the optimization goal.

LES investigation of the cavitating hydrofoils with various wavy leading edges

Xiaotao Zhao et al.

Summary: In this paper, large eddy simulation was used to study the impact of various wavy leading edges on cavity control around a modified NACA634-021 hydrofoil under equal lift conditions. The results showed that wavy leading edges were not effective in suppressing cavitation, but could effectively suppress pressure fluctuations.

Performance and wake analysis of horizontal axis tidal current turbine using Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation

Muhammad Faizan et al.

Summary: This paper presents the hydrodynamic performance and wake assessment of a horizontal axis tidal current turbine. The study utilizes the Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) turbulence model and polyhedral mesh to resolve the three-dimensional flow field. The results show that the IDDES model provides closer predictions to experimental values compared to the k-ε Shear Stress Transport model.

Numerical study of the effect of tip-speed ratio on hydrokinetic turbine wake recovery

Oumnia El Fajri et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the performance of URANS and DES models in predicting hydrokinetic turbine performance and wake recovery mechanisms, finding that DES performs better in predicting wake vortex breakdown compared to URANS. However, DES significantly underestimates turbulence predictions in the near wake region. The analysis reveals that the mechanism of wake vortex breakdown is dependent on the tip-speed ratio, suggesting that future research should focus on improving model predictions and considering free-surface effects.

Predictive capability of actuator disk models for wakes of different wind turbine designs

Guodan Dong et al.

Summary: The predictive capability of the actuator disk (AD) models in simulating wakes of different wind turbine designs is evaluated by comparing the results with those of the actuator surface (AS) simulation. Two types of AD models, AD-R and AD-NR, are considered. The velocity profiles predicted by the AD models agree well with the AS predictions, but differences exist in turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress. The energy distribution and features of mode patterns also vary for different turbine designs.

Investigation of Hydrodynamic Performance and Evolution of the near Wake on a Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine

Zhaocheng Sun et al.

Summary: In this study, the hydrodynamic performance and near wake of tidal current turbines were investigated through numerical simulation and experimental methods. The results showed that the increase of TSR led to a decrease in the pitch of the helix formed by tip vortex and also a decrease in the axial velocity deficit. The experimental results verified the simulation results, but there were quantitative differences.

Wake structure and mechanical energy transformation induced by a horizontal axis tidal stream turbine

Jie Lin et al.

Summary: Horizontal axis turbines are considered promising energy extractors for tidal stream energy utilization, but there is still a lack of widely accepted model for describing the wake structure of tidal stream turbines. More experiments and data analysis are needed to improve the understanding of energy transformation and wake development processes, in order to enhance tidal stream energy extraction efficiency.

The impact of turbulence and turbine operating condition on the wakes of tidal turbines

Tim Ebdon et al.

Summary: The study showed that turbulence intensity has a significant impact on wake development, while turbulence length scales have little effect. The turbine operating condition and thrust also influence wake characteristics, with increased power extraction leading to greater near-wake deficit and wake width increasing with turbine thrust.

Spatial evolution and kinetic energy restoration in the wake zone behind a tidal turbine: An experimental study

Yaling Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, the spatial evolution mechanism of tidal turbine wakes was experimentally investigated. It was found that the wake expansion and turbulence dissipation were limited until shear-induced turbulence appeared at the wake centre, leading to significant recovery of kinetic energy in the wake region. Further energy restoration was observed as the wake moved downstream, though the rate of energy transformation decreased beyond 7D downstream.
