Design of high-deflection foils MHK applications - CFD models - Helical turbines
Abstract
The Ocean Renewable Power Company's (ORPC's) goal is to design, develop, and test hydrofoils with large deflections. The effects of the deflections on cross-flow turbine performance would be evaluated in order to inform design considerations for full-scale water turbines and other marine hydrokinetic devices.
CFD models of helical model scale turbines tested at UNH
OpenFOAM v1912
Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) = 3.00
