Forced Motion CFD Simulation and Load Refinement Evaluation of Floating Vertical-Axis Tidal Current Turbines

Simulation of the hydrodynamic performance of a floating current turbine in a combined wave and flow environment is important. In this paper, ANSYS-CFX software is used to analyse the hydrodynamic performance of a vertical-axis turbine with various influence factors such as tip speed ratio, pitching...
