    • TEAMER: Experimental performance characterization of a shrouded axial-flow turbine

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2025

    Sitkana has developed a shrouded hydrokinetic turbine with a modular, low-cost design that can be scaled to meet the needs of remote communities. With technical support from the University of Washington, Sitkana sought to experimentally characterize the mechanical power and structural loads of various 1:3.3 scale rotor geometries. In all, 11 different rotor geometries were characterized with variations in height-to-diameter ratio, blade number, and blade type (foiled versus flat). All tests were conducted in Reynolds-independent flow conditions in the Alice C. Tyler Flume at the University of Washington. Results allow Sitkana to (1) refine the optimal rotor geometry, (2) validate numerical models, and (3) predict power output for a full-scale system.

    This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 8 (request for technical support) program.
