Abstract

A study on tidal turbine using CFD simulation has been an economical and reliable method. However, large flow fields with multi-turbine arrays require high computer performance. Actuator disc theory therefore is widely applied. Actuator disc is the concept that imitates actual turbine by means of an energy absorption disc which has the same dimension and characteristics. Turbines installed in array may have disturbance effects on one another. Thus, the subject of this study is to analyze the far wake of these tidal turbines and compare to single turbine case. The main objects are to analyze two turbines positioned longitudinally at different spaces.
