Abstract

The hydraulic resources of the rivers tidal current need to be developed urgently in China. To solve the problem of low efficiency of tidal turbines, a multichannel diversion crossflow hydroturbine is designed with simple structure, high reliability, little environmental impact and high security. This new type of turbine included: the water guide device of the multichannel diversion, crossflow turbine with no center shaft, the long and short blades interval setting etc. The strength and vibration models of the crossflow turbine are made by finite element method. The hydrodynamic performance can be improved by increasing the turbine’s flow space, and simultaneously improving efficiency. The turbine has a broad market prospect, and the economic and social benefits are very remarkable.
