Performance of non-uniform tidal turbine arrays in uniform flow

Theoretical models suggest that in order to maximise their collective power out put, tidal turbines should be arranged in a single cross-stream row and optimally spaced to exploit local blockage effects. However, because it is assumed that the turbines within these arrays are identical, such models...
