Experimental evaluation of the performance of hydrokinetic turbines in a towing tank: influence of depth relative to the free surface
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of immersion depth on the performance and stability of horizontal-axis hydrokinetic turbines operating near the free surface. Tests were carried out in the IPT’s Towing Tank at depths of 1D, 2D, 4D, 6D, and 8D, where D is the rotor diameter. Torque and rotational Leia mais…
