Marine multi-physical flow laboratory

Professor Yang is interested in nonlinear water waves, multiphase flows, fluid-structure interactions, and computational fluid dynamics, with a primary focus on applications in ocean engineering. His research aims to understand and predict the complex behaviors of fluid systems through a combination of theoretical and computational approaches.

Key research areas include:

• Hydrodynamics of ships and underwater vehicles

• Sloshing and slamming, including hydroelasticity and phase change

• Development of advanced numerical methods for simulating complex flows

• Application of nonlinear system identification to enhance modeling accuracy and predictive capabilities
