The application of low aspect ratio hydrofoils to the secure positioning of static equipment in tidal streams
The costs of installing tidal energy technology are high, requiring expensive vessels to drill sockets in the sea bed or to handle gravity based structures of substantial mass, and this impacts on the commercial viability of any proposed marine renewables development. This thesis offers a viable alt...
