Published by Ocean Renewable Power Company | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:03 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 11, 2022 at 03:21 PM
The Ocean Renewable Power Company's (ORPC's) goal is to design, develop, and test hydrofoils with large deflections. The effects of the deflections on cross-flow turbine performance would be evaluated in order to inform design considerations for full-scale water turbines and other marine hydrokinetic devices. CFD models of helical model scale turbines tested at UNH OpenFOAM v1912 Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) = 3.00 Different strut configurations
