Numerical modelling of two-scale flow dynamics

Summary: Two-scale actuator disc theory is shown to predict qualitatively the performance of a lateral array of tidal turbines in a depth-averaged channel model. The agreement between the numerical and analytical models is improved by extrapolating the numerical results to zero background roughness....
