Betz revisited Prof. Guy Houlsby Department of Engineering ScienceOxford Tidal Energy Workshopsponsored by the Oxford Martin School30th March 2012
Classical Lanchester-Betz theory • An oversight • An additional calculation • Resolving these problems • Betz for an open channel
Calculation Results
Conclusions • Anomalies in the original Betz calculation can be resolved by treating it as the limiting case of a confined flow • Efficiency can be calculated • An “inner and outer” calculation is proposed for flow in a channel
