River and ocean kinetic hydropower involves the use of underwater turbines in external flow conditions. These conditions include reduced velocities due to the boundary-layer of the surrounding walls, and hazardous debris-laden flows such as rocks and boulders during coastal storms or branches and logs during spring run-off. A numerical investigation evaluates the effect of placing an object upstream...
Kinetic hydropower involves the use of hydro turbines, submerged within existing currents for power generation. They are applicable to ocean and tidal currents, rivers, and human-made channels. This versatility gives them advantages over conventional hydropower, however they suffer from low power densities. This numerical study investigates the use of diffusers to enhance the performance and viability...
