Special Session 6 Title: Hydrodynamics in Ocean Engineering
Short description
of the proposed topic:
Hydrodynamics in ocean
engineering involves the
study of fluid motion,
forces, and interactions
between water and
structures or systems in
marine environments. It
focuses on understanding
and predicting how
waves, currents, and
tides affect ships,
offshore platforms,
renewable energy
devices, and coastal
infrastructure. Key
areas include wave
mechanics,
fluid-structure
interactions, sediment
transport, and
turbulence modelling.
Hydrodynamics is crucial
for designing efficient
and safe marine
structures, optimizing
renewable energy
systems, and addressing
challenges like coastal
erosion and underwater
vehicle performance. By
balancing efficiency and
environmental impact,
hydrodynamics plays a
vital role in advancing
sustainable ocean
engineering solutions.
Novelty and motivation:
The emergence of hydrodynamics in ocean engineering represents a novel approach to addressing complex challenges in marine environments by integrating advanced computational modelling, IoT technologies, and artificial intelligence. This field introduces innovative solutions for optimizing underwater vehicle performance, protecting coastal infrastructure from extreme weather, and enhancing energy efficiency in offshore renewable systems. The motivation to discuss hydrodynamics lies in its critical role in advancing sustainable marine technologies, improving existing infrastructure, and addressing the growing demand for renewable energy and climate change resilience. As ocean engineering expands, hydrodynamics provides a foundation for achieving eco-friendly and technologically advanced solutions.
