Welcome to the NUS Computational Coastal Lab!

Computational Coastal Lab at National University of Singapore (NUS-CCL)

Advanced Coastal Modelling

Predicting extreme wave impact on the coastal and marine structures

The advanced numerical simulations of wave-structure interaction under regular or extreme wave conditions.

State-of-the-art CFD models with high-fidelity

State-of-the-Art computational fluid dynamics modelling for soft (flexible engineering and nature-based) infrastructures.

CFD modeling of flow through flexible stem arrays

The coupled IBM–VFIFE numerical framework reveals how stem flexibility fundamentally alters vortex dynamics and hydrodynamic loads.

Wave interaction with a group of flexible vegetation

 

A meshless smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model resolves the fully coupled dynamics between waves and vegetation deformation.

Flow field around real mangrove root system

The LES simulations combined with IBM method reveal how the complex mangrove root geometry modifies local flow patterns and enhances turbulence generation.

Full-scale CFD simulation of storm surge over mangrove forests

A full-scale CFD model illustrating how mangrove forests mitigate storm surge impacts through enhanced wave energy dissipation. 

Effects of seepage flows on tsunami-induced scour around a monopile

Coupled hydrodynamic, morphological, and soil models are employed to resolve three-dimensional seepage forces and bed-slope effects around a monopile under tsunami conditions.

Dynamic seepage response in tsunami-induced scour around a pipeline

This study quantifies the role and mechanics of seepage response in tsunami‐induced bed mobility and scour through theoretical analyses and fully coupled hydrodynamic and morphological simulations.  

CFD simulation of ship-induced waves

The high-resolution CFD model resolves free-surface deformation and wave patterns induced by vessel motion impacts. 

Experimental works for Coastal Resilience

Solitary waves transformation on a slope

The experiment demonstrates the process of solitary wave shoaling and breaking over a sloping bed.

Wave overtopping over an eco-engineering revetment

The experiment compares irregular wave overtopping at a revetment with and without roughness elements.

Breaking wave impacts on an elastic plate

The experiment reveals how structural elasticity and aeration govern breaking-wave impacts, leading to pressure spreading and high-frequency vibrations.

Microplastics transport under open channel flow

The experiment shows the transport rates of microplastics on the bed.
