Dynamic Aero-Hydro-Elastic response of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

This research project explores the coupled aero-hydro-elastic behaviour of floating offshore wind turbines, focusing on dynamic interactions between wind, waves, and structural motion. Using state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics simulations and multi-physics modelling, the research will enhance understanding of motion-induced loads, stability, and reliability, informing robust designs for next-generation floating systems.

Student Led Exercise Groups

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

A Student Led Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercise Group was set-up in April 2021 by Physiotherapy Lecturer Sara Knight to bridge the gap created by the Covid-19 pandemic. This was originally a virtual class but has now evolved to a hybrid class where participants can attend via zoom or face to face on campus. The class runs most Monday afternoons throughout the year.
