A numerical study on the hydrodynamics of a floating tidal rotor under the combined effects of currents and waves

This work examines the hydrodynamics of a 20 m diameter axial-flow tidal rotor supported by a catamaran-style floating platform. Using a time-domain seakeeping model of the float, coupled with a dynamic model of the rotor based on blade-element momentum theory, the floating tidal turbine was analyse...
