Connecting cutting-edge research with real-world industry applications, our Masterclasses serve as a platform to connect academia and the renewable energy sector. In our upcoming Masterclass, we’re pleased to welcome Dr. James C. Hastie from Blackfish Engineering Design Ltd, a marine solutions consultancy. Dr. Hastie will discuss how the NDC Marine Simulator was utilised to model Blackfish's quick connection design - as part of a Supergen ORE Hub Flex Fund project - assessing its performance under various offshore conditions. The Masterclass will feature practical demonstrations in the 300-degree immersive Marine Simulator, with participants having the opportunity to design and test their simulations as well as work with some of the models created in collaboration with Blackfish, manoeuvring them in the Simulator for real-time testing. Learn via a wide range of practical activities at this state-of-the-art facility, performing real-time simulations of offshore operations and technologies under the influence of varying conditions including weather, waves, wind, currents and tides.
