The motivation that led to the writing of the present paper is the necessity to exploit the high velocity energy of River Nile that obtained when River Atbara meets River Nile in Atbara city, which is located in River Nile State. At the junction of the two rivers, high velocity energy is available and therefore, could be utilized in different applications. A suitable energy converter is needed to utilize this abundant energy. The water current turbine unit is mounted on buoyant decks plates’ pontoon. This review paper is a continuation of a series of researches executed by the Faculty of Engineering and Technology Atbara – Nile Valley University to utilize the hydraulic energy of River Nile and try to convert it into a suitable form of energy for the general good of the simple citizens of River Nile and Northern States. The review study includes general introduction to water current turbines; literature review; theories of aerofoils, which include aerofoils definitions, aerofoils terminologies, geometrical parameters of aerofoils, aerofoils types; generation of lift and drag; and conclusions.
