Estimating Power Output from a Tidal Current Turbine Farm with First-order Approximation of Hydrodynamic Interaction between Turbines
Li, Ye; Çalışal, Sander M. (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2010)This article presents a numerical approach to estimate power output from a tidal current turbine farm with first-order approximation of hydrodynamic interactions between multiple turbines. An example study is conducted by ... -
An Integrated Approach to Increase Marine Transportation Safety in Harbor Areas
Li, Ye; Çalışal, Sander M.; Landsburgh, Alexander C. (Marine Technology Soc Inc, 2017)The importance of marine transportation safety in harbors and waterways access has become a very serious governmental concern in recent years, with the holding of special conferences on major marine disasters, increasing ... -
An integrated model for estimating energy cost of a tidal current turbine farm
Li, Ye; Lence, Barbara J.; Çalışal, Sander M. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)A tidal current turbine is a device for harnessing energy from tidal currents and functions in a manner similar to a wind turbine. A tidal current turbine farm consists of a group of tidal current turbines distributed in ... -
Modeling of twin-turbine systems with vertical axis tidal current turbine: Part II-torque fluctuation
Li, Ye; Çalışal, Sander M. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)We recently showed the advantage of using a numerical system to extract energy from tidal currents by developing a new twin-turbine model (Li and Calisal, 2010a). Encouraged by this result, we decided to use this model to ... -
Modeling of twin-turbine systems with vertical axis tidal current turbines: Part I-Power output
Li, Ye; Çalışal, Sander M. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010)Recent interest in the tidal current industry has driven development of the prototype from the stand-alone turbine to the twin-turbine system. In this paper, we develop a numerical model to systematically analyze the ... -
On flow fluctuation's impact on the performance of vertical axis turbines-A potential flow analysis
Li, Ye; Çalışal, Sander M. (Amer Inst Physics, 2017)During the last decade, with rapidly increasing deployment of tidal current turbine prototypes in many countries, a number of failures have been reported. Several of these failures were attributed to the intensive flow ... -
Three-dimensional effects and arm effects on modeling a vertical axis tidal current turbine
Li, Ye; Çalışal, Sander M. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010)Three-dimensional effects in studying a vertical axis tidal current turbine are modeled using a newly developed vortex method. The effects on predicting power output and wake trajectory are analyzed in particular. The ...
