摘要
Sites suitable for the deployment of tidal turbines generally show a combination of complex seabed morphologies and extreme current magnitudes. Such configurations favour the formation of vortices, which can be very powerful. Anticipating the vortex effect on the turbine performance and/or lifespan requires refined description of the turbulence. Thanks to increased calculation resources, large-eddy simulation (LES) can now be applied to natural flow. An LES approach developed within the TELEMAC-3D open-source software is presented here. After validating the model with in-situ measurements, the model is applied to characterize the flow statistics of the Alderney Race. This article is part of the theme issue 'New insights on tidal dynamics and tidal energy harvesting in the Alderney Race'.
