Abstract

This study confirmed that usefulness of the vertical axis marine turbine with the variable-pitch control　system by using single actuator disk theory, the numerical calculations and experimental results on the flume and the　towing test in the sea area. The calculation and test model has a diameter of 0.5m, blade length of 0.6m and 6 blades. In　this condition, from the results of the numerical calculation, the flume test and the towing test, it confirmed that high　performance can be obtained the setting angle between -20 degrees and -30degrees.
