Performance Data from a 1-Meter Cross-flow Turbine with High Deflection Hydrofoils

Published by University of New Hampshire, Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC) | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-12-19T20:00:55Z
Performance data of a 1-meter diameter cross-flow tidal turbine consisting of three NACA 0018 blades with two support struts with high deflection hydrofoils. Data was collected at the University of New Hampshire Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Lab within the tow tank. Three turbine parameters were varied: the blade materials, blade shape, and support strut position. A detailed description of the testing set-up and data files contained within the compressed "Turbine_Performance_Data.zip" file is in the "ReadMe.txt" file. Review of the original dataset "_Ver1" found that one of the tests had issues with one of the two redundant sensors. Resources were updated by replacing the dataset with measurements from the redundant sensor and are provided as version 2 "_Ver2".
