The Centre for Ocean Energy Researcher hosted the 1st CFD for Ocean Energy Workshop on the 23rd of January 2013, at Maynooth University. The workshop consisted of a day of seminars to help to bring a group of like-minded researchers together to share knowledge, focusing on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and its application in wave energy research.
