MS Plan A Defense: The Relationship Between Hydrodynamic and Morphologic Changes at Sunset Beach
Zoom Meeting ID: 970 3827 6831Merritt Shepherd Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held over Zoom** Meeting ID: 970 3827 6831 Passcode: MerrittMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/97038276831 In recent years, Sunset Beach on O'ahu’s North Shore has experienced multiple erosion events. Consequently, the US Army Crops of Engineers has collected datasets describing Sunset Beach through aerial photographic surveys and beach cameras to resolve the coastline variability from 2020-2021. The aerial and coastline imagery were processed to determine beach area and volume time series. The constructed beach time series indicates large seasonal variations and year-to-year variations, driven by
Seminar: GPU-based mesh-less CFD modeling of free surface flows and wave-structure interaction
Bilger Hall 150 2545 McCarthy Mall, HonoluluDr. Morteza Derakhti Researcher, APL, Assistant Professor, CEE, Affiliate Assistant Professor, ME University of Washington Location Information **This seminar will be held both in person (Bilger Hall 150) and over Zoom** https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/95081858686 Meeting ID: 950 8185 8686 Passcode: OREseminar This talk introduces emerging GPU-based, mesh-less computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, particularly focusing on turbulent free surface flows and fluid-structure interactions. This modeling framework directly captures the complex dynamics of multi-body structures like Wave Energy Converters (WECs), along with their interactions with surrounding turbulent flows under various sea states. By adopting a mesh-less approach, we eliminate common challenges associated with mesh-based
