摘要
A twin unidirectional impulse turbine has been proposed in order to enhance the performance of wave energy plant.This turbine system uses two unidirectional impulse turbines and their flow direction is different from each other.However,the turbine characteristics have not been clarified to date.The performances of a unidirectional impulse turbine under steady flow conditions were investigated experimentally by using a wind tunnel with large piston/cylinder in this study.Then,efficiency of the twin impulse turbine have been estimated by a quasi-steady analysis using experimental results.
