title = "Counter-rotating turbine in unique power unit provided for bidirectional tidal streams",
abstract = "The energy from a tidal stream is abundant and renewable resource whose power is predictable and sustainable. To generate power effectively from the stream a unique counter rotating type tidal stream power unit, whose tandem rotors drive inner and outer armatures in a generator, has been provided by the authors. At the tidal power station located in narrow straits, the unit needs to be reoriented so that useful output power can be obtained from both flood and ebbing tides. In this paper, the counter rotating tandem rotor turbine was designed for operation in a bidirectional tidal stream and the performance was analyzed. The maximum output power is somewhat lower than that of the rotors designed exclusively for a unidirectional stream. The relative flow has a positive angle of attack at the leading edge and discharges from the trailing edge along the blade camber. The angular momentum change, namely the rotor work, is seen to always be accompanied with a shock loss at the leading edge.",
