Effects of 3-D channel blockage and turbulent wake mixing on the limit of power extraction by tidal turbines

Three-dimensional incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations are performed for water flow past an actuator disk model (representing a tidal turbine) placed in a rectangular channel of various blockages and aspect ratios. The study focuses on the effects of turbulent mixing be...
