The aim of the project is to identify the hydrodynamic behaviour of MPs in tropical coastal regions with addressing the following research questions: (1) What are the effects of biofouling and aggregation on the benthic distribution of MPs by changing their settling velocities through size, shape and density? (2) What are the fundamental thresholds for remobilization for non-buoyant MPs mixed with bottom sediments? The project received funding from Ministry of Education and is currently hiring a PhD and a Postdoc.
This research project focuses on developing the multiphysics numerical model of wave-structure-seabed interaction for the stability assessment of marine structures and coastal protection. The project received funding from Ministry of Education, Singapore.
The project is to improve the turbulence models with machine learning for predicting the coastal and ocean engineering problems involving turbulence such as breaking waves, sediment transport. Large-scale experiments will also be performed. The project received funding from Ministry of Education and is currently hiring a PhD and a Postdoc.
This project is to develope a national model for Coastal-Inland flood. Prof. Li Yuzhu Pearl is in charge of the task of Sediment transport prediction work package.
