An Unsteady Boundary Element Model for Hydrodynamic Performance of a Multi-Blade Vertical-Axis Tidal Turbine
An unsteady boundary element model is developed to simulate the unsteady flow induced by the motion of a multi-blade vertical axis turbine. The distribution of the sources, bound vortices and wake vortices of the blades are given in detail. In addition, to make the numerical solution more robust, th...
