Cavitation limits on tidal turbine performance

Blockage effects are currently not accounted for in cavitation analyses of tidal turbine rotors. At higher blockage ratios, rotors are more heavily loaded and have potentially stronger suction peaks, so cavitation inception is more likely. In this paper, blade resolved computations are used to carry...
