A Comparison of Numerical Modelling Techniques for Tidal Stream Turbine Analysis

To fully understand the performance of tidal stream turbines for the development of ocean renewable energy, a range of computational models is required. We review and compare results from several models of horizontal axis turbines at different spatial scales. Models under review include blade elemen...
