Blade element momentum theory for a tidal turbine

A key hydrodynamic difference between tidal current and wind turbines is the volume-flux constrained flow field in which tidal turbines operate and the resulting streamwise static pressure difference that develops in the flow passage. Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory is extended to account analyt...
