PI: Reza GhorbaniInstitution: U of Hawaii at ManoaTitle: NSF Workshop on Fundamental Research and Technology in Wave and Hydrokinetics Power SystemsThis award will support participant travel to the international workshop titled NSF Workshop on Fundamental Research and Technology in Wave and Hydrokinetics Power Systems. The workshop will be held on September 19-22, 2011 at Kona, Hawaii, as part of the international conference OCEANS?11. The objectives of the workshop are to 1) provide a forum to exchange ideas on the recent advances in fundamental research and technology development related to wave and hydrokinetic power conversion and utilization, 2) identify research needs of critical importance, and 3) develop guidelines for research and technology development for the next decade. Intellectual Merit The oceans offer the potential for abundant and clean natural energy from ocean waves, currents, tides and thermal gradients. The harvesting and conversion of ocean wave energy to electrical power is a relatively new and emerging research area. In this area, research and technology development usually requires multidisciplinary knowledge and skills, including ocean hydrodynamics , mechanical engineering for design of energy conversion devices, structural engineering analysis of wave-device interaction, and electrical engineering for power storage and transmission, as well as economic and environmental considerations. The papers to be presented at the proposed workshop will illustrate the multidisciplinary nature of this ocean wave power, and the complexity of the fundamental science and engineering challenges needed to harness this renewable energy resource. In particular, new theories and computational models to be presented at the workshop have the potential to advance the field of wave and hydrokinetic power systems, as well as fundamental science in fluid and solid mechanics. Broader Impacts The proposed workshop will provide broader impacts in four aspects. First, both academic scholars and engineers from industry will be invited to attend the workshop. Therefore, the workshop offers an opportunity to facilitate technology transfer, and to identify research topics that have both scientific merit and industrial application. Second, both graduate and undergraduate students will be offered an opportunity participate in the workshop to further their career development. Third, the workshop outcomes will be disseminated through a variety of outlets, including the conference proceedings, special issues in two journals, and a web site. Finally, the workshop also aspires to establish a US-based consortium on wave and hydrokinetics power that will facilitate collaboration and information exchange, particularly with complimentary ocean wave power consortiums in Europe.

PI：Reza Ghorbani研究所：夏威夷大学马诺阿分校标题：NSF波浪和流体动力学电力系统基础研究和技术研讨会该奖项将支持参与者参加名为NSF波浪和流体动力学电力系统基础研究和技术研讨会的国际研讨会。研讨会将于2011年9月19日至22日在夏威夷科纳举行，作为国际海洋会议的一部分。研讨会的目标是1)提供一个论坛，就与波浪和流体动力转换和利用有关的基础研究和技术开发的最新进展交换意见，2)确定至关重要的研究需求，以及3)为下一个十年的研究和技术开发制定指导方针。海洋提供了从海浪、洋流、潮汐和温度梯度中获取丰富和清洁的自然能源的潜力。收集海浪能并将其转化为电能是一个相对较新和新兴的研究领域。在这一领域，研究和技术开发通常需要多学科的知识和技能，包括海洋流体力学、设计能量转换装置的机械工程、波浪-装置相互作用的结构工程分析、电力储存和传输的电气工程，以及经济和环境方面的考虑。将在拟议的研讨会上提交的论文将说明这种海浪发电的多学科性质，以及利用这种可再生能源所需的基础科学和工程挑战的复杂性。特别是，将在研讨会上提出的新理论和计算模型有可能促进波浪和流体动力系统领域的发展，以及流体和固体力学的基础科学。更广泛的影响拟议的研讨会将在四个方面提供更广泛的影响。首先，学术学者和工业界的工程师将被邀请参加研讨会。因此，研讨会提供了一个促进技术转让的机会，并确定了既具有科学价值又具有工业应用的研究课题。其次，研究生和本科生都将有机会参加研讨会，以进一步促进他们的职业发展。第三，讲习班成果将通过各种渠道传播，包括会议记录、两份期刊的特刊和一个网站。最后，研讨会还希望建立一个美国的波浪和流体动力发电联盟，以促进合作和信息交流，特别是与欧洲免费赠送的海浪发电联盟的合作和信息交流。
