Our work helped Surf Lakes achieve the confidence to go ahead with full scale prototype and allowed for the surfing performance of Occy's Peak at full scale to match design expectations in the planning stage. Surf Lakes built a 1:5 physical scale model of the surf pool in which DHI validated our CFD model to replicate the scale model results.ĭuring the next crucial stage, we assisted with optimising the wave generating mechanism and surf performance characteristics at full scale focusing on the surf break in the pool called Occy's Peak. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling to predict wave movementĭHI contributed to the success of the Surf Lakes through our expertise in CFD modelling, combined with our surfing optimisation software Optisurf.
The simultaneous variety of energy-proficient waves (eight different types) caters for five levels of surfing from beginner to pro simultaneously, allowing people of all abilities and surf craft preference to surf at the same time. Surf Lakes features the highest wave productivity in the market (2400 per hour), allowing surfers the opportunity to catch up to 10 waves per hour with over 200 people in the water at once. Just how massive is the Surf Lakes wave pool? Commercial sites are earmarked in locations such as the Gold Coast, US, UK, Brazil and more. Based in Queensland, Australia, the R&D facility is a prototype built with the purpose to prove the Surf Lakes’ 5 Waves technology. Their technology is capable of producing a variety of waves shapes and ride lengths with varying degrees of difficulty that closely mimic natural ocean waves. MIKE 21/3 can be applied to diverse areas and is ideal for coastal engineering studies, such as harbours or similar structures, as well as environmental applications including dispersion, oil spill, eutrophication and modelling of living organisms. Surf Lakes is a concentric wave generation technology that creates multiple surfing breaks in one custom designed pool.

Large manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide rely on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution.
The company's Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured and hybrid meshes interfaces with CFD solvers, such as ANSYS FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, ANSYS CFX and OpenFOAM®, as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS runs on Windows (Intel and AMD), Linux (Intel and AMD), and Mac, and has scripting languages that can automate CFD meshing. is solving the top problem facing engineering analysts today – mesh generation for computational fluid dynamics. He has more than 30 technical publications to his credit, including peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. in engineering mechanics from the University of Cincinnati in 1986. in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1991, and a B.S. in aerospace engineering from Mississippi State in 1999, an M.S. Once he has been integrated with our talented technical team, customers may expect delivery of many new meshing technologies.”ĭr. “He brings decades of valuable mesh generation experience and expertise to our organization. “We are thrilled to welcome Mike to our team,” said John Chawner, Pointwise's president. Remotigue also was heavily involved in other meshing research at Mississippi State, including the codes GUMBO, GUM-B, NGP, and EAGLEView. His contributions to those widely used and distributed research codes run the gamut from user interface development to meshing algorithm coding, customization, and end-user support.
Remotigue is best known for his work on the unstructured mesh generation software SolidMesh and SolidMesh++. after nearly 21 years at Mississippi State University.ĭr.
