Incorporation of a Non-Constant Thrust Force Coefficient to Assess Tidal-Stream Energy

A novel method for modelling tidal-stream energy capture at the regional scale is used to evaluate the performance of two marine turbine arrays configured as a fence and a partial fence. These configurations were used to study bounded and unbounded flow scenarios, respectively. The method implemente...
