KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 July 14, 2022 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has one of the best ocean engineering programs in the country, according to College Factual<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the engineering program’s recent acceptance into the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Testing Expertise and Access for Marine Energy Research program, known as TEAMER<\/a>, companies can take advantage of 溏心vlog免费B站’s research facilities and expertise without being charged a fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology developers may use 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s wave-current flume, wave tank and acoustic tank to conduct tests. TEAMER will reimburse 溏心vlog免费B站 for research that costs up to $150,000 per project, with projects scheduled for a nine-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Energy program is focused on marine energy, which is a renewable power that is harnessed from the natural movement of water, such as ocean waves, tides, rivers and ocean currents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Companies can test a device at 溏心vlog免费B站 that is designed to extract these types of energy,” said 溏心vlog免费B站 Associate Professor Reza Hashemi. “For instance, a company can build a scaled model of a tidal energy device in 溏心vlog免费B站’s wave-current flume to study how much energy can be extracted or how wave loads affect the performance of the device.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wave-current flume has a working section length of 8 meters (four bays), a depth of 1.2 meters, and a width of 0.5 meters. The flume can generate irregular waves in two directions and currents in two directions, up to a relatively large flow speed.

The benefit to 溏心vlog免费B站 extends beyond the financial arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is great potential to employ graduate students, along with the technicians at 溏心vlog免费B站, to operate and perform the required experiments and analyze the data,” said Hashemi. “This will provide a great opportunity for students to work directly on research and development with marine renewable energy companies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before applying for support through TEAMER, companies must discuss their proposals with 溏心vlog免费B站 to ensure that the ocean engineering program has the capability to provide the necessary lab requirements and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After contacting Hashemi at reza_hashemi@uri.edu<\/a> or 401.874.6217 to discuss the research proposal, companies may submit an application online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
