Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of the External Rotor Supporting the Design of a Tidal Kinetic Turbine Prototype

The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the reliability of a zero-dimensional approach, aimed to design a double rotor kinetic turbine prototype, by means of computational fluid dynamic analysis. The interaction between the flow and the blade of the turbine prototype external rotor is evaluated. T...
