prize for Best Paper Award at
AWTEC 2016
October 28, 2016
The paper written by Tanguy Leroux,
Nick Osbourne, Justine McMillan,
Dominic Groulx and Alex Hay and titled:
"Numerical Modelling of a Tidal Turbine
Behaviour under Realistic Unsteady Tidal
Flow" was awarded the 2nd place for
Best Paper of the conference.
Two papers were presented by
Dominic at the 3rd Asian Wave and
Tidal Energy Conference held in
Singapore
October 24-28, 2016
The papers presented were: "Numerical
Modelling of a Three-Bladed NREL S814
Tidal Turbine" and "Numerical Modelling
of a Tidal Turbine Behaviour under
Realistic Unsteady Tidal Flow".
OERA grant awarded to the LAMTE
and researchers in Oceanography
January 6, 2016
A $25,000 grant was awarded from
OERA for the numerical study of the
impact of representative transient flow on
tidal turbines. The LAMTE is collaborating
with Dr. Alex Hay's research group in
Oceanography on this project.
Dominic participated in the first
Australian Ocean Renewable
Energy Symposium in Melbourne
October 18-20, 2016
He presented a talk titled "Numerical
Study into a Horizontal Tidal Turbine
Wake Velocity Deficit".
