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.

Walker et al.
Tidal stream energy has great potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity supply, but development has been slow, in part due to high costs and challenging engineering required to operate in the marine environment. Floating support structures may be able to help reduce these costs. A laboratory study comparing the performance of a turbine mounted on fixed and floating…

Tidal turbines are deployed in sites which have elevated levels of free stream turbulence (FST). Accounting for elevated FST on their operation become vital from a design standpoint. Detailed experimental measurements of the dynamic near-wake of a tidal turbine model in elevated FST environments is presented; an active grid turbulence generator developed by our group was used to seed in the…
