Model scale testing of multi-rotor arrays designed to exploit constructive interference effects

Performance advantages from blockage are not currently accounted for in tidal turbine rotor and array design. Experiments have been performed to study the impact on performance of two identical rotors designed for, and operating in, high local blockage, when deployed in a large cross-section (low gl...
