The wake characteristics of tidal turbines are significantly influenced by turbulence intensity (TI) and flow velocity in the marine environment. This study employs the Blade Element Momentum (BEM)–CFD method to model two-bladed horizontal tidal turbine wakes, simplifying the turbine geometry while ensuring computational efficiency. The numerical model, validated against experimental data, demonstrates reliable accuracy. Simul...

Tsunami monitoring and early warning systems are mainly established to deal with seismogenic tsunamis generated by sudden seafloor fault displacement. However, a global tsunami triggered by the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption promoted the need for tsunami early warning and hazard mitigation of non-seismogenic tsunamis in coastal countries. This paper studied the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of historical volcanic t...

In this paper, based on the CFD software ANSYS-Fluent, two-dimensional numerical models are established to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of a self-starting H-Darrius vertical axis tidal turbine (VATT) array of three turbines in a triangular layout with 3D in axial and radial distance. Three main aspects are explored in this study: (1) the self-starting performance, power coefficient, flow fields, and blade force of...
