Although there is a lot to be learned from wind turbines and ship propellers, there have been a few trials looking at marine current turbines. As a consequence, a study of the power, thrust, and cavitation characteristics of a 1/20th scale model of a potential 16 m diameter horizontal axis tidal turbine was conducted. Experiments in a cavitation tunnel for various blade pitch settings were compared to simulations based on a newly developed blade element-momentum theory. This hypothesis has been proven to be a good fit for the experimental turbine performance data. The established theory has been utilized to construct potential horizontal axis tidal turbines for the tidal flows surrounding Portland Bill as an example application. The findings indicate that there is a clear balance between design loads and energy yield optimization.
