Tidal stream turbines operate in the harsh marine environment, subjected to turbulence,
wave action and wakes from upstream devices when deployed in arrays. Turbines may be …

To design tidal stream turbine arrays, turbine wakes need to be fully characterized to assess
the adequate row spacing considering environmental factors such as onset turbulence …

Understanding the impact of bathymetry features on the wake and loading of a tidal stream
turbine is crucial to inform deployment of tidal turbine farms. This study investigates the …

Cloud computing platforms have been continuously evolving. Features such as the Elastic
Fabric Adapter (EFA) in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform have brought yet another …

Leaky barriers are in‐stream natural flood management solutions designed for peak flow
attenuation, whose effectiveness is dependent on their design. Flow around leaky barriers …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are very slender structures that can be equipped with a
tracking system to adjust their orientation and maximise their energy yield. Theses slender …

Computational models in hydro-environmental engineering are diverse in their background
formulation and span from two-dimensional depth-averaged shallow water models, to …

Most deployment sites for tidal stream turbines feature relatively shallow conditions and are
typically exposed to surface waves, which can drive periodic loads on the turbine as well as …

Tidal sites can present uneven seabed bathymetry features that induce favourable or
adverse pressure gradients and are sources of turbulence, and so are likely to affect the …

This paper presents a novel methodology to optimize high-performance computing
hardware selection and allocation for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations …
