Comparison of Actuator Line Method and Full Rotor Geometry Simulations of the Wake Field of a Tidal Stream Turbine
This study aims to investigate the wake characteristics of a horizontal axis tidal stream turbine supported by a monopile using a numerical approach. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations based on the open source software OpenFOAM have been performed to enhance understanding of a turbine&am...
