The limit of power extraction by a device which makes use of constructive interference, i.e. local blockage, is investigated theoretically. The device is modelled using actuator disc theory in which we allow the device to be split into arrays and the

Fast tidal streams are a promising source of clean, predictable power, but the task of arranging tidal turbines for maximum power capture is complicated. Actuator disc models, such as the two-scale actuator disc theory, have proven useful in seeking
