Extended Momentum Model for Single and Multiple Hydrokinetic Turbines in Subcritical Flows
… loads and the performance of confined Darrieus turbines. The turbine thrust force influences the flow approaching the rotor. Hence, a momentum method is applied to solve the hydraulic transition in the channel, achieving the unknown inflow factor from the undisturbed flow imposed downstream. The …

Design, build and test of an axial flow hydrokinetic turbine with fatigue analysis
… predictions of OpenProp for axial flow hydrokinetic turbines, a test fixture was designed and constructed, and a model scale turbine was tested. Tests were conducted in the MIT water tunnel for tip speed ratios ranging from 1.55 to 7.73. Additional code was also written and added to …

Evaluation of four rugged long-term velocity measurement methods for assessment of hydrokinetic energy production
… confidence interval of the power production from hydrokinetic turbines at potential river sites. This novel measurement buoy measures flow velocities inferred from the tilt angle of the buoy using an inertial measurement unit sensor, tension on the wire rope connecting the buoy to the riverbed …

Uncertainty analysis of acoustic flow measuring instruments for characterization of high energetic river flow
… from 0.05x10^7 to 3x10^7. As the performance of hydrokinetic turbines operating in highly energetic flows depends on localized velocity and turbulence parameters, uncertainty analysis contributes to improving river site characterization for the marine industry. The uncertainty analysis applies to …
