CFD Analyses of a Tidal Hydro-Turbine (Tht) for Utilising in Sea Water Desalination

Abstract
This work presents a modified concept of a tidal hydro-turbine (THT) used in desalination of sea water. THT can be used for the entire desalination process to derive energy from the intake of feed water, pre-treatment and producing required pressure for the system. The turbines extract energy from the tidal movement and run the water pump in order to provide the hydraulic pressure of the desalination unit. The performance of the turbine was assessed and its graphs were plotted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling. Keywords - Tidal hydro-turbine, CFD, desalination, ANSYS FLUENT, Wave power.
