Comparison of computational fluid dynamics and fluid structure interaction models for the performance prediction of tidal current turbines

CFD models perform rigid body simulations and ignore the hydroelastic behavior of turbine blades. In reality, the tidal turbine blades deform due to the onset flow. Deformation of the turbine blade alters the angle of attack and pressure difference across the low pressure and high pressure surface o...
