Similitude and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation of the Model of a Hydropower System for Generating Clean Electricity from Water Flow

<p> This thesis presents a computational analysis of the performance of the model of a hydropower barge, consisting of 3 pairs of paddle wheels, in generating power from the flow of a river. The barge dimensions used in this research are one-thirtieth scale of the actual barge dimensions.</...
