Thesis Topic/Title:
CFD Modelling of Floating Solar Systems for both Optimised Clean Energy Generation and Reduced Dam Water Evaporation
Description
Evaporation loss from farm dam water storage is a significant challenge for the agricultural industry. Considerable energy is also required in agricultural production. This project will develop a CFD model to simulate and optimise the design of floating solar systems. The optimal designs will be obtained to achieve the best outcomes for both clean energy generation and water evaporation reduction.
