Assessment of the parametric roll behaviour of a point absorber wave energy conversion device in irregular waves.
Meskell, Craig (2017)The response of the Wavebob wave energy conversion device has investigated numerically in long crested irregular waves generated using the JONSWAP wave spectrum. Only long crested waves are considered as the roll mode ... -
CFD modelling of the cross-flow through normal triangular tube arrays with one tube undergoing forced vibrations or fluidelastic instability
Meskell, Craig (2016)A CFD methodology involving structure motion and dynamic re-meshing has been optimized and applied to simulate the unsteady flow through normal triangular cylinder arrays with one single tube undergoing either forced ... -
Effect of the axial gap on the energy consumption of a single-blade wastewater pump
Meskell, Craig (2021)The effect of the axial gap on the energy consumption of a single-blade wastewater pump (Sulzer XFP PE-2 150E CB1.1) is assessed using URANS simulations with ANSYS Fluent. The numerical model was compared to experimental data ... -
Identification of a non-linear model for fluidelastic instability in a normal triangular tube array
Meskell, Craig (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 1999) -
On-site energy generation in the manufacturing industry: effects on the variability of the net electricity demand
Meskell, Craig (2020)Local distribution system operators (DSOs) are currently dealing with the unpredictability and high variability of energy production coming from an increasing number of distributed variable renewable energy (VRE) systems. ... -
On-site renewable electricity production and self consumption for manufacturing industry in Ireland: Sensitivity to techno-economic conditions
Meskell, Craig; Sgobba, Alessia (2019)The technical and economic feasibility of on-site renewable energy production from solar and wind for a specific manufacturing plant in Ireland is assessed. The energy load of the plant during a typical year is identified ... -
PERFORMANCE OF A CLOSED CYCLE POWER TAKE OFF FOR MUTRIKU BREAKWATER
Meskell, Craig (2022)An oscillating water column (OWC) type wave energy converter was installed in Mutriku breakwater (Basque Country, Spain). The wave power is transferred to an air flow that turns a turbine. The facility currently uses ... -
Performance of a Closed Cycle Power Takeoff for a Shore-Based Wave Energy Device
Meskell, Craig; Bellec, Morgane (2023)A promising class of devices for ocean wave energy conversion is called the oscillating water column in which the wave power is transferred to an airflow that rotates a turbine. A closed cycle power takeoff (CCPTO), in ... -
Sensitivity of the damping controlled fluidelastic instability threshold to mass ratio, pitch ratio and Reynolds number in normal triangular arrays
Meskell, Craig (2018)Sensitivity of the damping controlled fluidelastic instability threshold of normal triangular tube arrays has been investigated through a theoretical-CFD hybrid methodology without the need for experimental data. ... -
Vortex shedding lock-in due to pitching oscillation of a wind turbine blade section at high angles of attack
Meskell, Craig; Pellegrino, Alberto (2019)The unsteady flow around a pitching two-dimensional airfoil section (NREL S809) has been simulated using unsteady RANS with the transition SST turbulence model. This geometry is chosen to represent a wind turbine blade in ...
