Modelling free-surface flow with bathymetry variation using spectral methods

Generation of electricity, by harnessing tidal currents with turbines, has the potential to contribute to a more sustainable future. However, knowledge of the fluid velocity, at a certain depth, is required in order to predict the available energy resource. Therefore, a modelling framework is descri...
