A Numerical Model Application of Marine Current in the Bangka Strait, Indonesia with a Turbine Arrangement *

Abstract

Abstract—This study presents the velocity distributions of marine current in the Bangka strait by using a numerical model with a turbine arrays. A RANS method is used to determine the velocities which flowing between the turbines. The velocity distributions in around turbines are simulated with a numerical model. The model calculates only at 0.1 Sv when low and high tides currents. The result is showed that the velocities in around turbines different when low and high tides currents. The result is using to make the turbine profile in the future.
