Application of linear momentum actuator disc theory to open channel flow

<p>This report presents a step by step extension of the simple one-dimensional linear momentum actuator disc theory (LMADT), which results in the well known Betz-Lanchester limit for wind turbines, to a general cross sectional array of tidal turbines in an open channel tidal flow. Unlike previ...
