A Double Multiple Stream Tube (DMST) routine for site assessment to select efficient turbine aspect ratios and solidities in real marine environments

A MATLAB routine, based on a Double Multiple Stream Tube model, developed to quickly predict the performance of cross-flow hydrokinetic turbine, here is presented. The routine evaluate flow data obtained with the open-source marine circulation code SHYFEM. The tool can establish the best locations t...
