文摘
- •
Abnormal velocity fluctuations are identified at a tidal current power site.
- •
Numerical model simulations show that the fluctuations are associated with eddies.
- •
The eddies are attributed to an island-headland topography system.
- •
The energy density varies significantly as eddies pass the site.
- •
Power output and efficiency may also be reduced by the eddy-induced yaw angle.
