DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Chantel Niebuhr (University of Pretoria)\nHydrokinet
 ic energy generation devices within water infrastructure are becoming an e
 ver-increasing alternative power source. In these applications the extent 
 and characteristics of the downstream wake are of great importance. The vo
 rtex formation and diffusion of the wake has a complex formation and is de
 pendent on numerous factors. Validated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 
 models provide a detailed insight into these formations. These models allo
 w analysis of the wake behaviour which are helpful in design and installat
 ion of these systems. Additionally\, the effects of submergence depth and 
 blockage ratio are also possible. Previously costly laboratory testing and
  simplified inaccurate numerical modelling was utilized due to the large c
 omputational resources needed to accurately simulate these applications. T
 he presentation will discuss the simulations made possible through the CHP
 C resource\, the challenges\, success\, and relevance of the results.\n\nh
