Comparison of the Power Extraction Performance of an Oscillating Hydrofoil Turbine with Different Deflector Designs

The unsteady RANS equations for a two-dimensional hydrofoil were solved using ANSYS Fluent to model and simulate the hydrofoil at a constant Reynolds number, <i>Re</i>, of 2 × 10<sup>5</sup> and a fixed reduced frequency, <i>f</i>*, of 0.14. The simulations were p...
