Job Description
The Research Fellow (Postdoc) will conduct research in the field of coastal dynamics, in terms of coupled CFD model on wave-current-seabed interaction and their impact on different shoreline types, e.g. beach, mudflat, mangrove regions. Numerical simulations and experiments will be conducted. The coupled CFD model will include the following new features:
• Wave-current-storm surge interaction modelling and water inundation prediction.
• Wave-current-seabed interaction with viscoelastic bottom (i.e. muddy seabed).
• Coastal processes interacting with various shore types e.g. beach, breakwaters, rock revetment, nature-based infrastructures. The interaction includes wave run-up, overtopping, beach morphology and scour around the coastal structures.
• The CFD model will be coupled with a potential flow-based depth-integrated model.
Job Requirements
• Possess a PhD degree and related research experience.
• Candidates with background in coastal and ocean engineering, especially with experience and knowledge in experiments and numerical modelling, hydrodynamics, wave theories, and CFD are encouraged to apply.
• Good written and spoken communications
• Possess strong quantitative skills and able to present results clearly.
• Prior good publication record is advantageous.
• Open to fixed term contract.
