CFD analysis of unsteady hydrodynamic loading on Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine (HATT) blades

Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbines (HATTs) can experience amplified, time varying hydrodynamic loads during operation due to dynamic stall. Elevated hydrodynamic loads impose high structural loads on turbine blades, thus appreciably shortening machine service life. An improved characterization of the un...
