| Abstract |
One of the key developments of the marine energy industry in the UK is the demonstration of near commercial scale devices in real sea conditions and the collection of performance and environmental data to inform permitting and licensing processes. The ETI’s ReDAPT (Reliable Data Acquisition Platform for Tidal) project saw an innovative 1MW buoyant tidal generator installed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney in January 2013. The project demonstrated the performance of the tidal generator in different operational conditions, aiming to increase public and industry confidence in tidal turbine technologies by providing a wide range of environmental impact and performance information, as well as demonstrating a new, reliable turbine design
This document is the second in a series describing progress with the application of EDF’s open-source CFD solverCode_Saturne toward a full marine-current-turbine simulation, including turbulence and waves. Reynolds-averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) calculations with the standard k- turbulence model and large-eddy-simulation (LES) calculations with the Smagorinsky model and a basic synthetic eddy model (SEM) for inflow turbulence are reported. Generally results show good correlation with experimental data for thrust coefficient but poor correlation with power coefficient |
