An analytical double-Gaussian wake model of ducted horizontal-axis tidal turbine

Abstract

The wake development of a tidal turbine should be fully considered in the array arrangement. There are many studies on wake characteristics, mainly focusing on a conventional horizontal-axis turbine, while a ducted turbine has attracted little attention. This paper investigates the wake characteristic of a ducted turbine using flume experiments and large eddy simulations. An analytical wake model of the ducted turbine is proposed and verified by the wake profile under different inflow velocities and the downstream turbine performance under different tandem arrangements. The results show that a ducted turbine wake still maintains a high self-similarity, and the wake profile is approximately the double-Gaussian curve. Compared with a conventional tidal turbine, a ducted turbine has a faster wake recovery speed, but a larger radial influence range. Therefore, ducted turbine arrays should be configured with wider radial distances and shorter axial distances.
