Abstract

The work will optimize the hydrodynamic performance and flow augmentation of Ocean Renewable Power Company's (ORPC) modular fairing for their cross-flow marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbine, using a computational fluid dynamics study. The influence of the fairing cross-sectional shape and rotor-fairing spacing will be assessed, to maximize power production and minimize structural loads.
