Agreement Value:
$15,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
Uncontrolled motions of marine platforms due to vortex shedding can adversely affect the performance and safety of the operations. The objective of this project is to conduct proof of concept physical simulations to investigate whether air bubbles can effectively be utilized to control such motions in the marine context.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
