Description
To develop a SUNTANS model to simulate the flow on a sub-mesoscale at a typical tidal stream energy site, that can be adopted for use as an industry/research tool.
Funding Source
Energy Technology Partnership, Heriot-Watt University, Marine Scotland Science
Location of Research
UK
Project Aims
The work is part of a wider effort to develop a computational ocean modelling tool capable of assessing the performance and hydrodynamic effects of proposed MRE installations at local and regional scales.
Study Progress
The project is currently on hold pending a future funding application.
