The power available to tidal turbines in an open channel flow

Linear momentum actuator disc theory (LMADT) is extended to address the power available to a tidal turbine array spanning the cross-section of an open channel flow. A generalised formulation is presented which relaxes constraints in previous models on the Froude number of the flow and geometry of th...
