CFD-Populated Empirical Turbine Wake Model
News Article, February 24, 2015 • The DTOcean team is developing a fast-running, easy to use current-energy capture (CEC) array spacing tool that considers tidal array performance vs efficiency. In support of this effort, Sandia has been assisting in developing the device wake modeling submodule that determines a tidal turbine’s wake properties (i.e., wake growth and dissipation)....

Developing a Fast-Running Turbine Wake Model
News Article, December 4, 2014 • As part of the international collaboration for DTOcean, a project aimed at accelerating the industrial development of ocean-energy power-generation knowledge and providing design tools for deploying the first generation of wave and tidal energy converter arrays, Sandia is developing a fast-running current energy converter (CEC) wake-interaction model. Toward this end,...
