Parametric Study of an Oscillating Airfoil in a Power-Extraction Regime
Thomas Kinsey,Guy Dumas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical performance of a wing that is heaving and pitching simultaneously was investigated through unsteady two-dimensional laminar flow simulations using the commercial finite volume computational fluid dynamics code FLUENT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prototype testing of a hydrokinetic turbine based on oscillating hydrofoils
Thomas Kinsey,Guy Dumas,G. Lalande,Jean Ruel,A. Méhut,Philippe Viarouge,Jean Lemay,Yves Jean +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new concept of hydrokinetic turbine using oscillating hydrofoils to extract energy from water currents (tidal or gravitational) is presented and tested in this investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Hydrokinetic Turbine Based on Oscillating Hydrofoils
Thomas Kinsey,Guy Dumas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a new concept of hydrokinetic turbine using oscillating hydrofoils to extract energy from water currents (tidal or gravitational) using URANS numerical simulations is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Tandem Configuration for Oscillating-Foils Hydrokinetic Turbine
Thomas Kinsey,Guy Dumas +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Dimensional Effects on an Oscillating-Foil Hydrokinetic Turbine
Thomas Kinsey,Guy Dumas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 3D hydrodynamic losses on the performance of an oscillating foil in a power-extraction mode was investigated. But the authors focused on the 3D performance of a foil oscillating sinusoidally in a combined heave and pitch motion with large amplitudes.
