A multi-scale analytical model for the performance of a tidal stream array in a tidal channel

This European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference paper presents a multi-scale analytical model for tidal-stream array performance in an idealised tidal channel. The work connects array-scale behaviour with channel-scale hydrodynamics to support interpretable early-stage assessment.

Tidal turbine array modelling using goal-oriented mesh adaptation

This study presents goal-oriented mesh adaptation for tidal-turbine array modelling. The method focuses computational resolution on the features most relevant to a modelling objective, supporting efficient and reliable simulation of tidal-energy arrays.
