Performance Analysis of Hydrofoil Shaped and Bi-Directional Diffusers for Cross Flow Tidal Turbines in Single and Double-Rotor Configurations
With the aim of finding efficient solutions for cross flow turbine (CFT) bi-directional diffusers able to harvest non perfectly rectilinear tidal currents, a 2D CFD analysis of ducted CFTs was carried out with focus on the effects of diffuser shape and yaw angle. The HARVEST hydrofoil shaped diffuse...
