🌍 Engineering Computation Society Hosts Groundbreaking "Engineering Computation and Renewable Networking Event" 🌍
On July 31st, 2024, the Engineering Computation Society (ECS) at the University of Salford hosted an exceptional event, the "Engineering Computation and Renewable Networking Event." This gathering brought together experts and innovators to explore the intersection of engineering computation and renewable energy, offering invaluable insights into the future of sustainable technologies.
🎓 Prof. Dr. Anwar Beg —Leader of the Multi-Physics Engineering Science Group (MPESG)—kicked off the event with an inspiring talk on the opportunities in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) within renewable energy. His presentation delved into cutting-edge topics such as:
- Solar Photovoltaic Mega-Yacht Thermal Modelling
- CFD Simulation of an Ocean Wave Energy Conversion Device
- Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) in Wind Turbines
💡 Dr. Sireetorn Kuharat , the ECS supervisor and a valued member of MPESG, followed with a concise and impactful presentation on hydro cyclone simulation design, setting the stage for further showcases from the ECS team.
🏢 Chris Summers CEng FRAeS , Head of Engineering at Morson Projects, provided a powerful industry perspective with his presentation on the current challenges facing the engineering sector, particularly in aerospace. His insights into the evolving landscape of engineering left a lasting impression on all attendees.
🔧 Shabbir Ahmed, Chairperson of ECS, introduced the society, highlighting its rapid growth and remarkable achievements in a short span of time. His team then presented their work on Axial Wind Turbine analyses, complete with impressive CFD simulations.
🌪️ Pramodh Wickramarachchi's team showcased the innovative design of helical wind turbines, demonstrating the potential for new approaches in renewable energy.
