Experimental Assessment of Flow, Performance, and Loads for Tidal Turbines in a Closely-Spaced Array

Tidal stream turbines are subject to complex flow conditions, particularly when installed in staggered array configurations where the downstream turbines are affected by the wake and/or bypass flow of upstream turbines. This work presents, for the first time, methods for and results from the physica...
