報告摘要：In the context of the global drive toward decarbonisation, the importance of marine hydrodynamics is growing. The focus has expanded beyond traditional offshore structures, such as ships and oil platforms, to emerging applications like marine renewable energy devices, offshore aquaculture systems, side-by-side clean-fuel bunkering, and even metamaterial-based solutions. These new applications bring fresh challenges to numerical modelling, requiring consideration of complex phenomena such as multibody dynamics, artificial dissipation, Morison elements, perforated structures, hydroelastic effects, and interconnected floating bodies. Addressing these challenges calls for updates to wave radiation and diffraction theory, as well as improvements to numerical codes. This talk explores a broad spectrum of ocean wave interactions with floating structures. In sheltered waters, however, ship-generated waves often dominate. Understanding their impact on floating systems requires a detailed analysis of ship waves from an Earth-fixed perspective, and recent advances in this area will also be presented.

報告簡介：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.
