Performance enhancement of tidal turbine arrays. This project aims to understand the environmental impact of turbines, by studying how an optimised array of turbines interacts with the downstream turbulent tidal flow. Tidal power could contribute substantially to Australia's Renewable Energy goals. Australia's coastlines produce over 2.4 terajoules of tidal energy, and research into turbine optimisation, array design and environmental impact is needed to exploit this potential. Fluid dynamics and optimisation researchers will design an improved vertical axis tidal turbine for use in the Torres Strait Islands. This project could improve tidal turbine design and turbine placement designs, and improve understanding of interactions between turbines and the maritime environment.

潮汐能涡轮机阵列的性能增强。该项目旨在通过研究优化的涡轮机阵列如何与下游湍流潮汐相互作用来了解涡轮机对环境的影响。潮汐能可以为澳大利亚的可再生能源目标做出巨大贡献。澳大利亚的海岸线产生超过2.4兆焦耳的潮汐能，为了开发这一潜力，需要对涡轮机优化、阵列设计和环境影响进行研究。流体动力学和优化研究人员将设计一种改进的垂直轴潮汐涡轮机，用于托雷斯海峡群岛。该项目可以改进潮汐涡轮机设计和涡轮机放置设计，并提高对涡轮机与海洋环境之间相互作用的理解。
