This site-wide search returns results for all documents and events in Tethys Engineering, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "engineer" finds "engineering"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys Engineering features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

Sutherland et al.
… In particular, the spatial and temporal variation must be well understood. FloWave is a state-of-the-art test facility with the ability to produce multi-directional waves and currents. This … throughout the tank using an ADV. The goal is to provide a comprehensive characterisation of the flow in the tank, in a robust and repeatable manner. These flow parameters are then … measurements for context. The turbulence intensities are normally distributed in the range of 5–11% and integral lengthscales were log-normally distributed over a 0.18–0.41 m range across …

Noble et al.
… The well-known dispersion relation links the length and period of a water wave with the depth in which it propagates. When model testing in tanks, the water … energy devices. This design tool will facilitate experimental planning, quantification of uncertainties, and correlation of model test results with field data. … 10.1016/j.ijome.2017.04.001 …
- Journal Article:
Sellar et al.
… The data analyses and results presented here are based on the field measurement campaign of the Reliable Data Acquisition Platform for Tidal (ReDAPT) project (Energy Technologies … During ReDAPT, a 1 MW commercial prototype tidal turbine was deployed and operated at the Fall of Warness tidal test site within the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney, U.K. Mean … wave identification techniques, the dataset can be filtered into conditions where the effects of waves are present or absent. Due to the volume of results, only flow conditions in the absence …

Cuthill et al.
… The structural lifetime fatigue testing of tidal turbine blades is currently a challenge faced by the tidal industry. Due to the high stiffness and short length of composite tidal blades, it is not possible to perform resonant fatigue testing in the same way … too high a natural frequency which, if tested resonantly, would result in internal heating of the composite and lead to premature failure. The aerospace industry uses conventional …

- Journal Article:
Edwards et al.
… Interest in wave energy as a viable renewable energy has increased greatly in the past couple of decades. To determine the potential that a certain location has to harvest wave energy, a … for deployment as well as the design and operating sea states. This study shows the level of sophistication that must be included in the verification process within a wave resource … methodology in two articles. The first part shows how doing a complete statistical analysis of the fit of the model at the location of interest is essential for determining the reliability …
- Journal Article:
Badoe et al.
… the results would differ in a larger scale environment where the flow is more representative of real-world conditions, being either unsteady or non-uniform. In this work, the effectiveness of a generalised actuator disk-computational fluid dynamics (GAD-CFD) approach in accurately … A unique large-scale experimental facility, FloWave, has been used to conduct physical testing of three instrumented model tidal energy converters of rotor diameter 1.2 m under differing …
