Experimental and numerical analysis of a multilayer composite ocean current turbine blade - ScienceDirect
Ocean environmental corrosion and mechanical load vibration introduce considerable negative effects caused by the fluid-structure-environment interaction. A new design scheme for a blade with salinity corrosion resistance and mechanical fatigue resistance is proposed, based on numerical simulation and fatigue tests. The one-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model for an ocean current turbine blade was established and calculated by a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and finite element method (FEM) solver....
