We develop high-fidelity numerical and experimental frameworks to understand wave shoaling and overtopping, quantify flow kinematics and loading, and support robust design of coastal infrastructures to protect coastlines.
Where it matters
Coastal protection: seawalls, dikes, revetments, breakwaters
Ports & terminals: quay walls, crest walls, overtopping due to gap resonance
Offshore structures: deck wetness, green water, topside loads
Methodology
Free-surface capturing for breaking and overtopping jets
Pressure and force reconstruction on structures and decks
Reflection control and validation-ready numerical wave tanks
