Hydrodynamic modelling of flexible tidal turbine blades

The current work is an analysis of the hydrodynamic effects of the different deformation mechanisms that affect axial-flow tidal turbines with the intention of understanding to what extent hydroelastic effects could be employed to improve the performance or to reduce the loads in rotors. For that, a...
