The<br>methodology combines an original design algorithm and a<br>turbine hydrodynamics model valid for arbitrary 3D flows.<br>Different from standard design methods based on blade<br>element models, 3D-flow corrections are not necessary.<br>Blade geometry parameters are determined with the objective<br>to maximize power at given design Tip Speed Ratio<br>(TSR), whereas a constraint is introduced in order to limit<br>turbine thrust at TSR higher than the design condition.<br>Numerical applications include the design of a laboratoryscale<br>turbine and a full-scale turbine for the exploitation<br>of tidal streams in the Messina strait. Alternative design<br>solutions obtained by varying the design TSR are compared<br>in terms of energy output as well as mechanical loads<br>transferred to the powertrain.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Marine Energy Journal}, author={Sarichloo, Zohreh and Ghorbanpour, Pedram and Salvatore, Francesco}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={77–90} }
