Six projects that show the range: nuclear containment, offshore wind at gigawatt scale, landmark structures and applied CFD research.
Full thermal and structural FEA of a nuclear spent-fuel storage container under normal, abnormal and accidental conditions: fire, 9-metre drop, ventilation failure, puncture and high-energy impact.
Detail-level FEA of 2 GW offshore substation jackets: pile-sleeve and grouted connections, trunnions, pile catchers, fatigue in-place and in sea transport, MSF and sea fastenings, load-out and lift analyses.
Structural Reanalysis of jackets with weld imperfections using Advanced Probabilistic Modelling Assessment: per-joint fatigue failure probability vs. DNV target reliability.
Innovative reinforced-concrete deep foundation for the tallest wind turbine in Africa (144 m hub): three-pile system with bolt-cage connection to the metallic tower.
FEA of bolted joints and welds in the new roof structure: two 176 m trusses with segments from 33 to 213 tonnes. Connection verification and equivalent stiffness for the global model.
Parametric 2D/3D CFD study of vortex generator influence on boundary layer separation around cylindrical structures, shifting vibration modes away from forbidden frequency ranges to reduce tower fatigue.
