Title: 2011 Marine Hydrokinetic Device Modeling Workshop: Final Report; March 1, 2011

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1028043· OSTI ID:1028043

This report summarizes the NREL Marine and Hydrokinetic Device Modeling Workshop. The objectives for the modeling workshop were to: 1) Review the designs of existing MHK device prototypes and discuss design and optimization procedures; 2) Assess the utility and limitations of modeling techniques and methods presently used for modeling MHK devices; 3) Assess the utility and limitations of modelingmethods used in other areas, such as naval architecture and ocean engineering (e.g., oil & gas industry); and 4) Identify the necessary steps to link modeling with other important components that analyze MHK devices (e.g., tank testing, PTO design, mechanical design).
