* List of amendments
| No. | Location | Amendments |
| 1 | ch1, P1 | explain the term 'modern renewables'; distinguish wave and tides energies and corresponding devices |

| 14 | ch4, p40 | add text to explain Fig.4.7 |
| 15 | ch4, P41 | add Fig4.7, show c_p and C_T from URANS and RANS |
| 16 | ch4, p42 | add references for Burton and implicit models |
| 17 | ch4, p48 | delete results from others, and highlight results and contribution |

| 20 | ch5, P59 | better explanation on local aoa |
| 21 | ch5, p68 | add assumption of the stalled blade model |
| 22 | ch5, P69, 70 | add blade profiles; add URANS as further research |
| 23 | ch6, p72 | explain the origin of z coordinate |
| 24 | ch6, p74 | explain how to determine time step size |
| 25 | ch6, p76,77 | add velocity contours from RANS, Fig. 6.5, and 6.6 |
| 26 | ch6, p78 | Fig.6.8b is corrected, explain power spectra of C_T, Fig.6.12 and 6.13 |
| 27 | ch6, p79 | more explanation on the harmonic seen in Fig.6.11 |
| 28 | ch6, p82 | change LES to RANS in the further research recommendation |
| 29 | ch7, p83 | reduce text size in the summary, highlight my contribution, delete results from previour work, such as " it was already seen ..." |
| 30 | ch7, p84 | change verb tense, rewrite the sentences |
