Scale effects in testing of a monopile support structure submerged in tidal currents

Climate change and energy security are key issues motivating the development of Tidal Current Energy (TCE) technology. Small scale model testing of TCE devices is a major challenge facing the technology due to turbulent flow in tidal currents environment and scaling is a fundamental engineering proc...
