Coupling Numerical Methods and Analytical Models for Ducted Turbines to Evaluate Designs
Hydrokinetic turbines extract energy from currents in oceans, rivers, and streams. Ducts can be used to accelerate the flow across the turbine to improve performance. The objective of this work is to couple an analytical model with a Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) computational flu...
