Marine Renewable Energy Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses simulation to explore how ocean energy, structures, and flows interact.
AboutAbout the lab
Using fluid dynamics to explore how marine structures interact with flows
The Marine Environment and Energy Engineering Lab studies the interaction between free-surface flow and structures of complex shape related to ocean energy and the marine environment.
The lab works on coupled analysis of free-surface flow and elastic structures, and on multiscale, multiphysics simulation.
To that end, the lab develops and applies new computational fluid dynamics methods, alongside related theoretical and experimental research.
The lab's website introduces it as the "Marine Environment and Energy Engineering Lab."
Key terms
- Free-surface flow
- A flow of water with a surface in contact with air, like the sea surface. The shape of the surface changes along with the flow, for example as waves form.
- Computational fluid dynamics
- Also called CFD. A method of studying the flow of water and air by calculating it on a computer.
- Multiphase flow
- A phenomenon in which things of different states or types, such as water and air, flow together while mixed.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates technologies that use marine renewable energy such as offshore wind, tides, ocean currents, and waves, as well as their effects on the marine environment. It also aims to develop methods for analyzing, with high accuracy on computers, complex problems in which fluids and structures are intertwined.
*Illustrative imageNext-generation ocean energy technologies
The lab works on developing technologies that use offshore wind, tides, ocean currents, and waves, and on assessing their effects on the marine environment. Subjects include floating structures, tidal and ocean current power generation systems, and floating transmission towers.
*Illustrative imageHigh-accuracy simulation of complex multiphase flows
Ocean engineering requires CFD simulation of multiphase flows and fluid-structure interaction. The lab is developing a next-generation CFD solver that performs ultra-high-resolution calculations at a computational cost practical for real-world use, aiming for analysis more accurate than commercial software.
