Numerical Research of the Effect of Surface Biomimetic Features on the Efficiency of Tidal Turbine Blades
Horizontal-axis axial flow tidal current turbine is regularly used to exploit the kinematic energy in tidal currents. However, the scaling up of tidal current turbine is very difficult. This is because strong tidal current only exists in the underwater region close to water surface, which implies th...
