• Loading and blade deflection of a tidal turbine in waves 

      Guo, Xiaoxian; Gao, Zhen; Li, Xin; Yang, Jianmin; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      A coupled numerical model has been developed and validated to study the fluid–structural interaction responses of a three-bladed tidal turbine in aligned waves and current. The unsteady blade element momentum (BEM) theory ...
    • The Effects of Surface Waves and Submergence on the Performance and Loading of a Tidal Turbine 

      Guo, Xiaoxian; Gao, Zhen; Yang, Jianmin; Moan, Torgeir; Lu, Haining; Li, Xin; Lu, Wenyue (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Tidal energy has the advantages of high predictability, high energy density, and limited environmental impacts. As tidal turbines are expected to be used in the most energetic waters where there might be significant waves, ...
    • The Surface Wave Effects on the Performance and the Loading of a Tidal Turbine 

      Guo, Xiaoxian; Yang, Jianmin; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir; Lu, Haining (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      When tidal turbines are utilized in the most energetic waters where there are significant waves, the assessment of the surface wave effects are of great concerns. The objective of this paper is to contribute to a fundamental ...
