The interplay and incremental development of tidal stream arrays in the Pentland Firth
- 15 April 2026
This article examines how tidal-stream arrays in the Pentland Firth interact as development progresses, informing the staged design of the resource.
Operational coastal ocean modelling for tidal stream turbine arrays
- 07 November 2025
Our development of operational coastal ocean models for simulating tidal stream turbine arrays was published in Applied Ocean Research. Led by Nguyen Q. Chien, this research advances the modelling capabilities for assessing the hydrodynamic impacts of tidal energy installations.
A multi-scale analytical model for the performance of a tidal stream array in a tidal channel
- 08 September 2025
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
- 08 December 2023
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.
