| This paper presents numerical results for the wake behind a three bladed horizontal axis turbine in a uniform free upstream current. A three-dimensional software, initially issuing from Pinon et al. [6], taking into account the non stationary evolution of the wake emitted by turbine blades is developed in order to assess the disturbances generated on the sea-bed and on the free surface. So an unsteady Lagrangian method is considered for these simulations using Vortex Method. The vortex flow is discretised with particles carrying vorticity, which are advected in a Lagrangian frame. |

| This paper presents experimental results from tests carried out in the Ifremer free surface circulation flume tank. The objective of this work is to validate the numerical work conducted under a PhD programme for the characterization of flow perturbations induced by marine current turbines. For that purpose, we used a tri-bladed horizontal axis turbine. The work is dedicated to measure the behaviour of the system and to characterize the wake emitted by the turbine. The efficiency of the turbine is quantified by the measurement of the thrust and the amount of power generated by the rotor for various inflow conditions, while the wake will be characterized by Laser Doppler Velocimetry. Particular attention is paid to the flow characteristic effects (velocity... |

| Le fonctionnement d’une hydrolienne est régi par les caractéristiques de l’écoulement incident. Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude expérimentale visant à déterminer les effets du taux de turbulence de l’écoulement ambiant sur le fonctionnement d’une hydrolienne et le sillage généré. Les essais expérimentaux ont été réalisés dans la veine hydrodynamique à surface libre de l’Ifremer, dont on peut faire varier le taux de turbulence de l’écoulement de 5 à 25%. Le prototype utilisé est une turbine tri-pales à axe horizontal de 0,7 m de diamètre (échelle 1/30). Des cartes de vitesses moyennes, de taux de turbulence, mais également d’énergie cinétique turbulente et de contrainte de cisaillement ont été obtenus à partir de mesures par vélocimétrie... |

| This paper presents experimental results of tests carried out in order to investigate the hydrodynamics of marine current turbines and to build an experimental database used to validate the numerical developments conducted to characterize the flow perturbations induced by marine current turbines. For that purpose, we used a tri-bladed horizontal axis turbine. Particular attention is paid to the flow characteristic effects (velocity gradient, flow orientation, flow turbulence intensity level) on the performance of a 0.70 m diameter turbine. The main interest is to study how the far wake decays downstream, in order to estimate the effect produced in downstream turbines. Analyses are made from Laser Doppler Velocimeter measurements (velocity and turbulence... |

| The hydrodynamics of a three bladed horizontal axis turbine is investigated. The performance of a turbine of 0.7 m of diameter and its wake were obtained from experiments and numerical simulations. A six components load cells is used for thrust and hydrodynamic power measurements, and Laser Doppler Velocimetry technics for wake characterisation. A three-dimensional software, taking into account the non stationary evolution of the wake generated by turbine blades is developed. The flow is discretised with particles carrying vorticity, which are advected in a Lagrangian frame. Both numerical and experimental power coefficient Cp and velocity maps were compared. Experiments and numerical data showed a satisfactory agreement in term of the shape of the wake... |
