Article Preview

Abstract:

Take the new tidal current energy utilizing device as study object, finite element modeling and simulating of physical process of impacting by tidal current are studied. Further, the physical process of impacting by the tidal current is analyzed, and the contour map of force, cloud picture of pressure distribution, vector diagram of water flow velocity and route map of water flow for the rotating blade are obtained. Our studies have shown that the force in front of blade is uneven, and the force of one end near pillar is bigger, but the force in reverse side is even, as the same time, the flow becomes divergence after impacting blade, flowing to the edge of blade.
