Abstract: The performance of a new concept of hydrokinetic turbine using oscillating hydrofoils to extract energy from water currents (tidal or gravitational) is investigated using URANS numerical simulations. ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation based on 2D URANS simulations is performed in order to seek an optimal spatial configuration for two oscillating foils within a hydrokinetic turbine. The objective of ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional hydrodynamic losses are assessed in this investigation for a foil oscillating sinusoidally in a combined heave and pitch motion with large amplitudes. Simulations are performed ...
