초록

1-MW class tidal stream turbine is proposed and the performance is studied numerically by the both of blade element theory (BEMT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The power coefficient according to the TSR(Tip Speed Ratio) is mainly focused for the evaluation of the performance of turbine. The computed results of the both methods are compared and analyzed in the present study. Additionally the cavitation inception is also treated and quantified by the minimum allowable immersion depth for cavitation free according to the variation of TSR. The comparison with experimental data is expected to be carried out in near future. Copyright © 2012 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
