Optimization of hydrofoil for tidal current turbine based on particle swarm optimization and computational fluid dynamic method

Both efficiency and cavitation performance of the hydrofoil are the key technologies to design the tidal current turbine. In this paper, the hydrofoil efficiency and lift coefficient were improved based on particle swarm optimization method and XFoil codes. The cavitation performance of the...
