Shahab Yeylaghi

Shahab received his M.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran in 2009. His work involved aerodynamic analysis of dual rotors using free wake modeling and potential method. This is related to analysis of wind turbines as a part of wind energy; one of the most important components of renewable energy.
His current research will focus on detailed CFD simulations of wave energy converters using a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach and take aim at the limitations of current methods. Detailed SPH simulations of wave energy converters help give us better understanding of the flow approaching the wave energy converter and the fluid-structure interaction. This enables more efficient design of these devices to help get the best out of the ocean wave energy potential.
