Numerical study of the duct shape effect on the performance of a ducted vertical axis tidal turbine
The current research focused on the numerical modeling of a three-bladed vertical-axis tidal current turbine using the commercial RANS code, FLUENT. A two-dimensional, incompressible, unsteady solver was used for the simulations in conjunction with a Spalart-Ailmaras turbulence model. This approach...
