About

You will be introduced to the principles of fluid dynamics, dynamics of floating bodies: from simple hydrostatics to complex dynamic response in waves, to the design procedure for monopiles for offshore wind turbine foundations. Cranfield University offers the Fluid Mechanics and Loading for Marine Renewables programme.

Overview

Key facts

Suitable for engineers working or wishing to work in the offshore renewable energy (wind, wave and tidal energy) and traditional offshore industry, this course will provide a theoretical and applied understanding of fluid mechanics and fluid loading on structures, and how to use it to design the offshore wind turbine foundations.

Cranfield University's Fluid Mechanics and Loading for Marine Renewables programme will teach you more about this topic.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Properties of fluids: Control volumes & fluid elements, Continuity, Momentum & Energy equations, stream function & velocity potential, Bernoulli’s equation,
Flow structures: Boundary layer theory, laminar & turbulent flow, steady & unsteady flow, flow breakdown & separations, vortex formation & stability,
Lifting flows: Circulation theory, Prandtl’s lifting-line theory, sources of drag, aerofoil characteristics,
Continuum, Navier-Stokes equations, compressible flow, multiphase flow,
Fluid loading on horizontal and vertical axis turbines, Blade Element Momentum theory.
