报告内容简介：
The seminar will begin by introducing the range of research currently in progress in the University of
Strathclyde, covering activities in fixed and floating offshore wind systems, as well as wave and tidal energy.
The seminar will then examine in more detail two research projects in the area of tidal energy which have
been recently completed in the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory. The first project examines the effect of the
choice of facility on the prediction of performance of a tidal energy device; a three bladed horizontal axis turbine
was tested in four facilities throughout Europe, including two towing tanks and two circulating water channels.
The study identifies the typical differences which were found between the facilities and discusses the causes of
these differences. The second project examines the effect of unsteady inflow on the fluid loading on the blades of
a horizontal axis turbine, including the effects of dynamic stall, and examines approaches for predicting the
loading and life of the blades.
报告人简介：
Sandy Day is Professor of Marine Hydrodynamics and Head of Department in the Department of Naval
Architecture Ocean and Marine Engineering at Strathclyde University. He is the Director of the University’s
Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory. His research interests lie in computational and experimental hydrodynamics;
he is actively engaged in both fundamental and industry-focussed research on performance and survivability of
offshore renewable energy devices including floating offshore wind turbines, current turbines and wave energy
devices. The Kelvin Laboratory has carried out commercial tests of a wide range of wave and tidal devices, and is
increasingly active in the offshore wind sector.
He is an active member of the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC), which sets best-practice
standards for large-scale hydrodynamics testing facilities worldwide; he has recently chaired the ITTC committee
on Hydrodynamic Testing of Marine Renewable Energy Devices, which has developed new standards for tank
testing of offshore wind, wave and tidal energy devices. These new standards were adopted at the ITTC
conference in Copenhagen in September 2014.
