grant_eligibility_criteria|who_can_apply

This grant appears to be relevant for entities involved in the study and development of maritime structures and ocean engineering due to the NRC's focus on testing the performance of these structures under various marine conditions.
  • Engineering firms specializing in maritime or coastal infrastructure development.
  • Academic and research institutions focusing on oceanographic or marine engineering studies.
  • Companies involved in the design and innovation of marine vehicles and operations.
  • Entities seeking to improve safety and reduce lifecycle costs of marine structures through testing and optimization.
  • Organizations involved in port development and coastal process studies.

grant_eligibility_criteria|eligible_expenses

The NRC's multidirectional wave basin (MWB) grant supports activities that assess maritime and coastal structures' performance under simulated ocean conditions. Eligible projects leverage the facility's capabilities to enhance the safety, performance, and cost-efficiency of marine structures and operations.
  • Analysis of the interaction between short-crested waves and marine structures.
  • Testing and optimization of coastal structure designs to withstand various sea states.
  • Simulation of port development scenarios under complex wave, wind, and current conditions.
  • Evaluation of marine vehicle performance in operational and extreme ocean environments.
  • Development of optimization strategies to increase marine structure safety and reduce lifecycle costs.
  • Research on the impact of local wind fields on maritime operations.
