The Ocean Renewable Power Company's (ORPC's) goal is to design, develop, and test hydrofoils with large deflections. The effects of the deflections on cross-flow turbine performance would be evaluated in order to inform design considerations for full-scale water turbines and other marine hydrokinetic devices. OpenFOAM V1912 files for straight foil model scale turbines in the University of New Hampshire tow tank. Strut Locations = (0.13, 0.225, 0.450, 0.675, 0.900) [m] Tip speed ratio = 2.40
