The present study aims at investigating turbulence characteristics in high flow velocity areas like those suitable for marine energy application. The Reynolds number, based on the rugosity height and mean flow velocity, is rather high: . For that purpose, experiments are carried out in a flume tank with as high as achievable in Froude similitude (in the tank: and ). Obstacles are canonical wall-mounted elements chosen to be representative of averaged bathymetric variations: a cube and a cube followed by an inclined floor. First, the wake topology past a canonical wall-mounted cube is illustrated from PIV measurements. Results show a flow behaviour already observed in the literature but for different upstream conditions ( and turbulence intensity). Second,... |

In the main tidal energy sites like Alderney Race, turbulence intensity is high and velocity fluctuations may have a significant impact on marine turbines. To understand such phenomena better, a three-bladed turbine model is positioned in the wake of a generic wall-mounted obstacle, representative of in situ bathymetric variation. From two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry planes, the time-averaged velocity in the wake of the obstacle is reconstructed in the three-dimensional space. The reconstruction method is based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and enables access to a representation of the mean flow field and the associated shear. Then, the effect of the velocity gradient is observed on the turbine blade root force, for four turbine locations... |

In high flow velocity areas like those suitable for marine energy application, bathymetry variations create strong velocity fluctuations in the water column. It is therefore essential to characterize the turbulence evolution in the wake of seabed elements which may impact the loads on tidal turbines. For that purpose, experiments are carried out in a flume tank in Froude similitude with a Reynolds number as high as achievable (Fr = 0.23 and Re = 2.5×10 5 ). The study focuses on large aspect ratio floor variations represented with a square wall-mounted cylinder of aspect ratio 6. The addition of a cube upstream of the cylinder is investigated. The cube impact on the wake development is larger than the side effects. Large scale turbulent events produced in... |

It is therefore essential to characterize the turbulence evolution in the wake of seabed elements which may impact the loads on tidal turbines. For that purpose, experiments are carried out in a flume tank with Re as high as achievable in Froude similitude, with bathymetry variations experimentally represented with various wall-mounted square elements of height H: a cylinder or a cube as unitary obstacles and combinations of these elements followed by an inclined floor to resemble smooth bathymetry changes. The onset flow is a simple boundary layer profile with height 1.3 H and a low turbulence... |

In high flow velocity areas like those suitable for tidal applications, turbulence intensity is high and flow variations may have a major impact on tidal turbines behaviour. Large boils that can be observed at the sea surface are emitted from the sea floor and may interact with the tidal turbines. These boils have then to be characterized. The Reynolds number, based on the rugosity height and the mean flow velocity, is rather high in this context: Re ¼ 2:5 107. For that purpose, experiments are carried out in a flume tank with Re as high as achievable in Froude similitude (in the tank: Re ¼ 2:5 105 and Fr ¼ 0:23) in order to study coherent flow structures emitted behind seabed obstacles. The obstacle is here a canonical square wall-mounted cylinder chosen... |

In high flow velocity areas like those suitable for marine energy application, bathymetry variations create strong velocity fluctuations in the water column. Experiments showed that wide cylindrical obstacles generate large velocity fluctuations, like those measured at sea. In order to study the effects of these fluctuations on the turbine behaviour, an experimental set-up has been developed in the circulating tank of Ifremer in Boulogne-sur-mer by positioning a cylinder and a turbine in its wake. Simultaneous PIV measurements give access to the flow velocity upstream of the turbine. Velocity and efforts are compared in terms of cross-correlation, coherence and their spectral content is studied. Results show that the turbine loads follow velocity... |

Flows at tidal-stream energy sites are characterised by high turbulence intensities and by the occurrence of highly energetic large and coherent flow structures. The interaction of the flow with seabed roughness is suspected to play a major role in the generation of such coherent flow structures. The problem is introduced with canonical wall-mounted square obstacles representing abrupt changes of bathymetry, with high Reynolds number flow (Re = 250000). Two methods are used: a numerical model, based on the LBM (Lattice Boltzmann Method) combined with LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and an experimental set-up in a circulating tank. The numerical model is validated by comparison with experimental data. In the case of a wall-mounted square cylinder, large-scale... |

Tidal turbine will be installed in area with high current and high turbulence level. A characterisation of this last is required. The aim of the project THYMOTE is to characterize and understand the generation of eddies from smaller to several tens of meters. Three technics are used: Numerical modelling, Physical modelling, field measurements. Physical and numerical modelling show clearly the appearance of the eddies close to the bottom in presence of dunes or rocks and their motion towards the free surface. |
