報告摘要：In the context of global drive towards decarbonisation, the significance of marine hydrodynamics is expanding. The focus has shifted beyond traditional offshore structures, such as ships and offshore platforms, to include emerging areas such as marine renewable energy devices, offshore aquaculture infrastructure, side-by-side offloading/bunkering of clean fuel, metamaterial, etc. These novel applications introduce new challenges in numerical modelling, including considerations for multibody dynamics, artificial dissipation, Morison element, perforated structures, hydroelasticity, etc. To effectively address these challenges, there is a need for an update in the wave radiation and diffraction theory and numerical code. This talk presents a comprehensive survey of the advancements in the boundary element method for water wave interactions with floating marine structures, covering both conventional and emerging areas. All numerical examples provided are validated through experiments or existing analytical solutions, and are reproducible with sufficient details. Moreover, this study lays a theoretical foundation for understanding wave interactions with different types of floating structures adapted to novel applications.

報告人簡介：

Dr Hui Liang is Senior Scientist and Deputy Director (Maritime Systems) at the Technology Centre for Offshore and Marine, Singapore (TCOMS), who earned his PhD in marine hydrodynamics through a joint programme between Dalian University of Technology (DUT) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Prior to joining TCOMS, he worked as a research engineer at Bureau Veritas, contributing to the development of ship seakeeping software; he also serves on the editorial board of Applied Ocean Research and is a guest editor for two special issues of Physics of Fluids. His research focuses on analytical and numerical modelling of nonlinear water waves and their interactions with various marine structures (ships, offshore platforms, aquaculture systems, offshore renewable energy devices), bridging fundamental hydrodynamic theory and practical tools for predicting hydrodynamic loads and structural responses, and he has collaborated actively with industry and academia to author 57 peer-reviewed journal papers, including publications in Journal of Fluid Mechanics (5), Physical Review Fluids (4), Physics of Fluids (4), and Proceedings of the Royal Society A (1). Currently, he leads the "Centre of Excellence for Autonomous and Remotely-Operated Vessels Phase II (CEAOPS II)", a project funded by the Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI) that aims to address barriers to deploying autonomous maritime solutions in Singapore by developing robust testing frameworks for autonomous navigation systems and leveraging autonomous technologies to enhance port safety and productivity.
