Duct optimization for a ducted vertical axis hydro current turbine

Turbines developed for the power production from the energy of tidal and river currents are commonly referred to as hydro current turbines. This research focuses on duct optimization for a ducted vertical axis hydro current turbine. As a first step, a discrete vortex method, referred to as “DVM”, i...
