ABSTRACT
This paper presents a comparison of 0.
6m Impulse and Wells
turbines with same hub to tip ratio of 0.
6 for wave energy power
conversion under similar conditions.
A 0.
6m Wells turbine rotor
with a solidity of 0.
6, with guide vanes, was tested in a 0.
6m test
rig.
Similarly, an Impulse turbine rotor consisting of 30 blades and
with a set of symmetrical guide vanes on both upstream and down
stream sections was tested under similar flow as well as testing
conditions.
This paper reports the comparison of performa
