🌊 Tidal Stream Turbine (2D)

2D Canvas simulation of a submerged tidal-stream turbine: real seawater density (1025 kg/m3), P=1/2 rho A v^3 Cp power formula, and a bidirectional semidiurnal tidal current over a real 12.4-hour cycle.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas simulation of a submerged tidal-stream turbine spinning in a bidirectional current. Real seawater density and the P=1/2 rho A v^3 Cp power formula drive output as the current follows a sinusoidal semidiurnal tidal cycle, reversing direction roughly every 6 hours. Adjust tidal amplitude, turbine rated power and cut-in speed, and watch cumulative energy and the power-vs-time graph update live.
