This work presents a modified concept
of a tidal hydro-turbine (THT) used in desalination
of sea water. THT can be used for the entire
desalination process to derive energy from the

This work presents a modified concept
of a tidal hydro-turbine (THT) used in desalination
of sea water. THT can be used for the entire
desalination process to derive energy from the
intake of feed water, pre-treatment and producing
required pressure for the system. The turbines
extract energy from the tidal movement and run
the water pump in order to provide the hydraulic
pressure of the desalination unit. The performance
of the turbine was assessed and its graphs were
plotted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
modelling. Index terms: Tidal hydro-turbine, CFD,
desalination, ANSYS FLUENT, Wave power.
