Darrieus type vertical axis water turbine in a cylindrical shape which consists of some straight blades is simple, efficient and easy to install a generator upward. However, it has difficulty in starting revolution. As a method to cope with such a problem, a starting revolution assist mechanism was fabricated and set on a prototype of the turbine. Assist experiment was carried out. It resulted helping well the starting revolution. The improved prototype of tidal stream turbine can generate 1.4 W under a water flow of 1 m/s where impossible to self-start. Besides that, Darrieus water turbine’s generating torque property was investigated by the famous original experimental data of lift coefficient Cl and drag coefficient Cd for straight blades of NACA63 3-018 cross section. It was found that setting two or four blades in a turbine would help to improve the difficulty of starting revolution.

In this paper, the tidal stream turbine blade is designed by using blade element momentum (BEM) theory. The bidirectional airfoil is created derived from NACA airfoil. Ansys-CFX is used to predict the hydrodynamic performance of this bidirectional airfoil, and it turns out that the bidirectional airfoil works well at both of the tidal current directions. A test turbine named rotor 2 is used, and a comparison is made between experimental results of the test turbine and numerical prediction results to prove the correctness of the numerical method. The power coefficient of bidirectional tidal stream turbine obtained by CFD method is 39.36% at the design tip speed ratio.
