MS Plan A: FLOW RECONSTRUCTION FROM SURFACE SENSORS ON A SUBMERGED BODY USING BIOT–SAVART–BASED POD MODES
POST 418 1000 Pope Road, Room 418, HonoluluMaliheh Gholizadeh Sarvandi Masters Student Department of Ocean & Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Manoa **This defense will be held in person (POST 418) and Zoom** Meeting ID: 838 2462 5775 Passcode: MS Zoom link: https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/83824625775 The external flow around a submerged body produces pressure and shear-stress distributions on its surface, which can be then used as indicators of the full surrounding flow field. Although sensors fixed to the body can measure surface quantities such as pressure and shear stress, they cannot directly measure the external flow field. However, these surface distributions may be interpreted as an encoding of
Seminar: Modular On-Site eDNA Enrichment (eDNA MODE): An Autonomous Sampling System for Active Environments
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluAustin Fisher, Walid Hassan, Olivia Holbrook, William Redford ORE653: Ocean Instrumentation and Technology *In-person ONLY (POST 723)* *request Zoom Link here for extenuating circumstances by Friday (4/29) @ 11:59 pm HST Environmental DNA (eDNA) samplers are in situ, autonomous water filtration systems that are designed to collect genetic material within the water column, enabling species detection in the lab. While there are over 20 eDNA samplers currently available, none offer a combination of high filtration rate, robust housing, self-preserving technology, and the capacity to collect replicate samples. We will present the design of the eDNA MODE (Modular On-site DNA Enrichment), an
MS Plan A Defense: Modeling Nearshore Hydrodynamic Processes in a Reef System with a Rip Channel: Evaluating XBeach Model Performance
POST 418 1000 Pope Road, Room 418, HonoluluXinyi Zhang Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Research Engineering University of Hawaii at Manoa **This defense will be held in person (POST 418) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 859 1029 7666 Password: XinyiMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/85910297666 Coastal hydrodynamics in reef–lagoon–channel systems are controlled by complex interactions among wave transformation, breaking, and circulation. Although previous numerical studies have advanced process-based understanding, a systematic evaluation of XBeach for such systems remains limited. This study assesses the capability of XBeach to simulate hydrodynamics in an idealized reef system with a rip channel, using large-scale laboratory datasets under irregular wave conditions. The analysis evaluates the
