Abstract

In the context of global carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the development of clean energy technologies has become a strategic priority for the global community. As a significant source of renewable energy, tidal current energy is playing an increasingly important role in reshaping the global energy landscape. To address the critical scientific challenge presented by the wake effects induced by tidal turbines, this study introduces a high-precision Lagrangian dynamic (LD) sub-grid-scale model within the framework of large-eddy simulation (LES). By integrating the actuator-line model with the aforementioned LD–LES approach, a solver named JUST–FOAM–Turbine is developed, specifically tailored for…
