The Computational Marine Dynamics Laboratory conducts cutting-edge research on complex marine systems, integrating computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical modeling, and high-performance computing. Our work spans ship design, marine renewable energy, offshore structures, and coastal engineering, aiming to advance knowledge, optimize performance, and support sustainable innovation in the marine sector.
Through simulation-driven approaches, we investigate real-world marine challenges and provide analytical insights that bridge fundamental research and practical engineering applications. Our research supports undergraduate and postgraduate education, collaborative projects, and industry partnerships, fostering innovation across naval architecture and marine engineering.
Our research in ship hydrodynamics focuses on understanding and optimizing vessel performance through detailed analysis of resistance, stability, maneuvering, and propulsion. Using CFD simulations and numerical modeling, we evaluate ship behavior in both deep and shallow waters, assess the efficiency of different hull designs, and study the impact of appendages, propellers, and control surfaces on performance.
By combining advanced computational techniques with experimental validation, we aim to enhance ship safety, reduce energy consumption, and improve operational efficiency. This research provides critical insights for ship design, maritime operations, and the development of sustainable naval technologies.
Our Laboratory explores offshore wind, tidal, and hybrid renewable energy systems, focusing on the efficiency, performance, and environmental impact of marine energy devices. Using computational modeling, we analyze fluid-structure interactions, turbine hydrodynamics, and site-specific conditions to optimize energy extraction from marine and coastal flows.
Our research supports the design of efficient, resilient, and sustainable energy systems, contributing to the global transition toward renewable energy. By integrating hydrodynamic analysis with engineering design principles, we aim to advance innovative solutions for offshore power generation and hybrid energy technologies.
We investigate coastal protection strategies, offshore structures, and breakwater designs to enhance resilience, safety, and sustainability in marine environments. Through simulation and modeling, we study wave-structure interactions, scour and erosion processes, and the effectiveness of coastal defenses under varying environmental conditions.
Our research combines theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and practical design considerations to support the development of robust, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective offshore and coastal engineering solutions. These efforts contribute to protecting coastal communities, supporting offshore infrastructure, and advancing the blue economy.
