Turbulence simulation at a tidal power site: the sensitivity to the inlet boundary condition
• Upcoming installation of first tidal power farms in highly turbulent tidal flows
• The seabed roughness plays a major role in the generation of large vortices that disturb the power production
• The trails of under-speed and over-speed are not specific to periodic cases
• It is necessary to introduce turbulence at the inlet to prevent numerical singularities
• Major seabed landforms generate under-speed and over-speed trails, regardless from the inlet boundary condition
