Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Harnessing renewable energy from water currents, such as rivers and tidal streams, without extensive infrastructure, positions hydrokinetic turbines as a highly promising technology.This research details the design and optimization of hydrokinetic turbine blade profiles to significantly improve their efficiency and overall performance.A comprehensive analysis, utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, was conducted to investigate the influence of varying angles on blade hydrodynamic performance.Our evaluation encompassed diverse blade profiles, seeking to optimize efficiency under various flow conditions, with dual objectives of maximizing power output and mitigating cavitation and structural stress.The findings conclusively demonstrate that the optimal selection of the blade angle can substantially enhance turbine efficiency, thus bolstering its potential for large-scale energy production.Furthermore, a specific angle of 67.5 degrees exhibited an unexpectedly superior power output compared to angles of 15 and 45 degrees.This work advances hydrokinetic technology and provides a robust framework for the continued optimization of renewable energy systems.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
