Unsteady Loading on a Tidal Turbine Due to the Turbulent Wake of an Upstream Turbine Interacting with a Seabed Ridge

Tidal sites can present uneven seabed bathymetry features that induce favourable or adverse pressure gradients and are sources of turbulence, and so are likely to affect the operation, performance, and wake recovery dynamics of deployed tidal-stream turbines. Large-eddy simulations are conducted to...
