“…In the first type of approach, highly simplified one dimensional tidal flow models are employed (Bryden & Couch, 2007;Garrett & Cummins, 2008;Vennell, 2010Vennell, , 2011Vennell, , 2012. In the second type of approach, more complex multidimensional tidal flow models are adopted (Lee et al, 2010;Divett et al, 2013;Malki et al, 2014). The simplified model approach possesses the appeal of simplicity; however, this approach cannot capture the complex nonlinear fluid flow interactions between turbines.…”
