- Additional information
- This work was partially funded by the China Scholarship Council and the paper presents a unique study of the cavitation and noise of a tidal current turbine. The experiments compared the performance of a conventional tidal turbine with that of two turbines with different arrangements of leading-edge tubercles. The operating conditions of typical full-scale turbines were studied to ensure the industrial relevance of the scaled experimental results and cavitation inception and noise diagrams are provided as a unique resource for future studies.
