Comparison between CFD simulations and experiments for predicting the far wake of horizontal axis tidal turbines
The actuator disc is a useful method for parameterising a tidal stream turbine in a solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. An actuator disc is a region where similar forces are applied to a flow as would be imposed by a turbine. It is useful where large-scale flow characteristics...
