Abstract

A computational fluid dynamics study was performed for a cross-flow marine hydro-kinetic turbine. The analysis was done in three dimensions and used the unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solver in the commercial code STAR-CCM+. The base turbine configuration is the RivGen® Turbine, designed by the Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC). A convergence and uncertainty analysis was performed for both the spatial and temporal discretization; this was done using the base configuration which features support struts and helical foils. The proposed study aims to compare the impact of the struts on both power performance and blade loading for helical and straight blades.
