Controlling Tip Vortices and Cavitation through Tip Permeability for Tidal Turbines
Yabin Liu, Junchen Tan, Richard H. J. Willden +2
Blade-tip vortices can lead to wakes, cavitation and noise, and their control remains a significant challenge for tidal and wind turbines. In the present work, we propose and inves…

Low-Order Modelling of Blade-Induced Turbulence for RANS Actuator Disk Computations of Wind and Tidal Turbines
Takafumi Nishino, Richard H. J. Willden
Modelling of turbine blade-induced turbulence (BIT) is discussed within the framework of three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) actuator disk computations. We fir…
