Project
Integrated Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics platform for modelling marine renewable energy technologies and moored floating structures validated using experimental modelling.
Objective is development of a non-linear numerical platform to deal with complex geometries and motions of Marine Renewable Technologies (MRT) under operational and extreme sea-states including mooring lines, PTO system and global control strategy. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methods are employed, validated using pioneering experimental data to cover knowledge gaps in MRT to achieve a mature offshore renewable energy sector.
