The ASME-OMAE (Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering) Conference, drawing over 700 attendees, is held annually. It addresses Ocean Technology, Ocean Space Utilization, Ocean Engineering, Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology, and other contemporary issues of the use and exploration of oceans. Professor Ronald W. Yeung and his collaborators, Professor Yin-Lu (Julie) Young, University of Michigan, and Ph.D. student Michael Motley, Princeton University, won the Best Paper Award of the Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium of OMAE-2009.
The paper, entitled "Hydroelastic Response of Wind or Tidal Turbines", addresses the unsteady fluid loading and flexural modal response of both wind and tidal turbine blades, the latter can experience the distinctive property of cavitation failure at the blade tips. The research was initiated while Young was visiting Stanford University as a UPS Professor in Spring 2008. Young and Yeung were presented award plaques on June 8 at the OMAE-2010 Conference in Shanghai, China.
The OMAE-2010 Conference also presented Professor Yeung with the OOAE (Ocean, Offshore, Arctic Engineering) Division Appreciation Award for "his role and valued services" for organizing the Ocean Engineering Symposium at the OMAE-2010 conference.
Congratulations to Professor Yeung on his multiple OMAE awards!
