Experimental and numerical investigation of turbulence and wake effects in tidal turbine arrays

The work presented in this thesis investigates the hydrodynamic interaction and resulting wake characteristics of multiple axially aligned and staggered array sections consisting of up to four horizontal axis tidal turbines (HATTs) through experimental and numerical modelling. Experiments with singl...
