- Tidal current turbines are commonly installed at sites with high velocity flow and this can cause seabed scour leading to the foundation failure of the tidal turbine system. This paper describes, for the first time, a joint numerical and experimental method operating at multi-scale to assess turbine performance, wake field and scour prediction. This work is significant as it extends the hydrodynamic simulation of a Darrieus turbine previously developed at the University of Plymouth combined with an associated morphologic model for the prediction of scour, experimentally verified at model scale in Tianjin University, China.
