Civil Engineering Departmental Seminar - Fluid Dynamics in Coastal and Ocean Engineering

4:00pm - 5:00pm
Room 3598 (Lift 27/28), HKUST

Fluid Dynamics in Coastal and Ocean Engineering

The presentation will start from brief introduction of the history of coastal and ocean engineering, followed by the discussion of current research frontiers in this field. All of these research frontiers essentially aim at providing better engineering solutions to exploring marine resources in a sustainable way, and thus dividing the studies into resources development and environment protection. With such background, the presenter will introduce the recent research activities taking place in his research group, mainly on various problems of fluid dynamics in coastal and ocean engineering. Their research activities include theoretical study, numerical modeling, laboratory experiments, and field survey for the following subjects: water wave transformation in changing topography, interaction of entrained air and ambient turbulence in breaking waves, wave dissipation by perforated breakwater, ecological restoration of coast and its role in coastal defense, dynamic responses of a floating marine structure, flow interaction with various flexible body (e.g., VIV of marine riser & cables, fish, etc.), offshore mining and subsea pipeline protection, liquid sloshing and control, etc.
