The "offshore of tomorrow" is being defined in our generation. Awaken by climate change, we were made aware that the exploration of fossil fuels for the sole use of thermal energy cannot be sustainable in the distant future. The effect humanity has played in changing the climate of the planet by the emission of greenhouse gases is a pressing agenda for many, if not all, countries committe…
The FAPESP - Shell Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation aims to be a world-class Centre for advanced studies with a focus on innovation towards sustainability and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development towards these fields. It aims to establish a world-class Centre…

In the context of the usage of wave tanks for analyzing vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) for the OTIC's LCP2 project, the parametric optimization of the current passive absorber of the Wave Tank Laboratory via numerical methods is proposed here. In order to do so, a experimental-numerical coupling methodology of the permeability coefficient of the material is expected to be elaborated,…
This research project is part of a study on wake-induced vibration, which aims to analyze the behavior of a moving cylinder, after suffering interference from a fixed cylinder vortex. In the experiment, there will be a variation in the mass and damping of the moving cylinder, as well as a variation in the distance between the cylinders. The project covers the experimental part of the stud…
The flow-induced vibrations have become a major concern for the offshore industry when oil exploration reached so-called ultra-deep watersdeep. As marine currents change their direction and direction along the length of the ducts, it is practically impossible to prevent some of the pipes (risers) are subject to interference with the other structures submerged. As a result, the possibility…
This is a research project that aims to investigate, analyze and then characterize the flow profile of the recirculating water channel for low-Reynolds number experiments at NDF/EPUSP. This characterization is important because this channel has never experienced such a characterization, and accuracies of data from future trials in this channel depend on this characterization. For this, ex…

Tidal turbines can be arranged in offshore farms to generate clean energy from tidal currents. An array of turbines may suffer from flow interference effects that can reduce the hydrodynamic efficiency of the individual system and the whole arrangement. Numerical and theoretical models try to account for such complex interactions, but they require experimental validation in order to be tu…
