| Abstract: | This study presents numerical simulations of a
cross-flow vertical-axis marine current turbine (straight-bladed Darrieus type)
with particular emphasis on rotor-performance prediction and hydrodynamic
characteristics. A physical transient-rotor-stator model with a sliding mesh
technique was used to capture change in flow field at a particular time step. A
shear stress-transport k-รน turbulence model was used to model turbulent
features of the flow. Developed model can effectively predict hydrodynamic
performance of a vertical-axis marine current turbine. |
