| Experimental results of tests carried out to investigate the hydrodynamics of marine current turbines are presented The objective is to build an experimental database in order to validate the numerical developments conducted to characterise the flow perturbations induced by marine current turbines For that purpose, we used a tri-bladed horizontal axis turbine The work is dedicated to measuring the behaviour of the system and to characterising the wake generated by the turbine The efficiency of the device is quantified by the measurement of the thrust and the amount of power generated by the rotor for various inflow conditions, whereas the wake is characterised by Laser Doppler Velocimetry Particular attention is paid to the flow characteristic effects on... |
