A Collaborative Computational Project in Wave Structure Interaction
CCP-WSI
The X-MED project involves a consortium of the Universities of Manchester, Edinburgh and Plymouth and the Scottish Association for Marine Sciences (SAMS) led by Professor Peter Stansby of the University of Manchester. Extreme loads on tidal turbines and floating bodies representative of wave energy devices are being researched. The work components cover CFD modelling, flume and basin experiments, and design implementation.
