This project used model-scale tank testing and fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) simulations to investigate the behavior of foils with large deflections and the effect of these deflections on crossflow turbine performance with the goal of determining the maximum allowable deflections consonant with efficiency and a robust, durable structure. A validated modeling and simulation approach was used in the design of an Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) full-scale turbine. The methodology is applicable to the design of other marine hydrokinetic (MHK) devices, and to hydrokinetic turbines which experience significant deflections during operation.
