The Ocean represents a massive energy resource that can be employed for electricity generation. This fact has led to the growing interest ocean-driven energy generation over the last decade. This research project focuses on the development of a novel particle method to simulate the flow through marine current turbines. Ultimately, the goal of the project is to evaluate the probability and potential damage of collisions on the turbine blades from solid elements dragged by currents, and to optimize design modifications to mitigate such events. The proposed numerical method arises from the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Finite Element Method (FEM) philosophies, with emphasis placed on particle-infiltrated flows.
