The NRC's Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre supports a broad cross section of industry sectors by developing creative and practical solutions to engineering challenges in rivers, lakes and marine environments.

2022年7月7日 · OCRE was established in November 2012 through the merger of the NRC’s Canadian Hydraulics Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, and its Institute for Ocean Technology in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. OCRE aims to be recognized as a global research leader for novel engineering solutions in HME characterized by ice, waves, cold and wind.

The NRC's Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre lab in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, uses anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant to create ice conditions that mimic real-world conditions in order to test how ships manage varying thicknesses and strengths of ice using scale model vessels in a large tank of water.

NRC OCRE offers specialized consulting and applied research services in ocean engineering, coastal engineering, solutions for water resources management, marine safety standards and technologies, as well as marine renewable energy assessments and technology.

2018年5月1日 · There are two objectives for the current study: (1) to validate NRC/OCRE-RC's modeling standards in regarding to its practice of specifying a CFC (Correlation Friction Coefficient) of 0.05 for all its ship models; and (2) to develop a correction methodology for its resistance and propulsion predictions when the model is prepared with an ice ...

This report presents the results of the evaluation of the Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering portfolio (OCRE) that was undertaken in 2015-16. OCRE works with its clients and partners to deliver innovative technologies that will improve Canada’s competitiveness and assure safe and responsible development of Canada’s marine-based resources.

Alignment with federal government and National Research Council (NRC) priorities - OCRE’s strategic plan is aligned with NRCs strategic outcome of “Canadian businesses prosper from innovative technologies”. Likewise, OCRE’s strategic objectives and activities are aligned with

The evaluation of the NRC’s Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre (OCRE) covered the period of 2015-16 to 2020-21. It was carried out in accordance with the NRC’s approved evaluation plan and the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Policy on Results (2016). The research centre was last evaluated in 2015-2016.

NRC-OCRE-TR-2021-063 PAGE v most recent data, (3) a documented review of regional LFFA techniques, and (4) development of a framework for integrating future climate change with low flow estimation procedures. The National Research Council Canada (NRC) led this effort through an inter-departmental agreement between the MECP and NRC.

This document gives a summary of the model-scale/full-scale correlation performed on model test data generated at the National Research Council Ocean, Coastal, and River Engineering (NRC-OCRE) test facility in St. John’s in support of the evaluation of the fullscale prediction from the NRC-OCRE’s CCGS Polar Icebreaker model test result.
