Influence of hydrofoil and chord length on axial flow hydrokinetic turbine performance
Abstract
Rural and remote regions can obtain electricity from rivers, canals, and sea currents using hydrokinetic turbines. This renewable energy is eco-friendly. This study investigates the impact of different hydrofoil designs on the performance and operation of axial-flow hydrokinetic turbines (AFHTs) at low Reynolds numbers (Re
