    • Design of composite tidal turbine blades 

      Grogan, David M.; Leen, Sean B.; Kennedy, Ciaran; Ó Brádaigh, Conchúr M. (2013-02-24)
      Tidal turbine blades are subjected to significant thrust and torsional loadings due to the high density ofthe seawater in which they operate. These thrust loadings lead to high bending moments at the bladeroot, which can ...

    • Development of a nested coastal circulation model: boundary error reduction 

      Nash, Stephen; Hartnett, Michael (Elsevier, 2014-03)
      Numerical models have a valuable role to play in the sustainable management of coastal waters but accurate simulation of land/sea interactions, particularly in areas of complex coastlines, requires the use of high spatial ...

    • A nested version of the combined hydrodynamic and water quality model, DIVAST 

      Nash, Stephen (2007)
      The present research deals with the development of a one-way nested version of the combined hydrodynamic and water quality model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). Initial research has concentrated ...

    • A Performance Assessment Protocol for Structured Mesh Multi-Scale Models 

      Nash, Stephen; Hartnett, Michael (2011)
      Nesting techniques are used to develop multi-scale models giving higher resolution and thus greater accuracy in nested domains. The assessment of model accuracy is therefore important for the successful implementation of ...
