Design of high-deflection foils MHK applications - CFD models - Helical turbines

Published by Ocean Renewable Power Company | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-04-11T15:21:17Z
The Ocean Renewable Power Company's (ORPC's) goal is to design, develop, and test hydrofoils with large deflections. The effects of the deflections on cross-flow turbine performance would be evaluated in order to inform design considerations for full-scale water turbines and other marine hydrokinetic devices. CFD models of helical model scale turbines tested at UNH OpenFOAM v1912 Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) = 3.00 Different strut configurations
