A Comparison of Tidal Turbine Characteristics Obtained from Field and Laboratory Testing

Experimental testing of physical turbines, often at a smaller scale, is an essential tool for engineers to investigate fundamental design parameters such as power output and efficiency. Despite issues with scaling and blockage which are caused by limitations in size and flow velocity of the test fac...
