Research policy and content
The Coastal and Marine Engineering Laboratory conducts research on the environment and disaster prevention in coasts, coastal areas, and closed water areas.The main research subjects are internal waves and their breaking waves in stratified waters, material transport in closed waters, salt water intrusion in estuaries, and wave deformation in coastal areas.Our research methods are mainly laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, but we are gradually starting field observations.Regarding numerical simulation, we are developing our own flow model based on the finite volume method, finite element method, particle method, and lattice Boltzmann method.In addition, we are also working on river water level prediction and lake wind prediction by machine learning (LSTM), and wave and weather analysis using SWAN and WRF models.In the future, we plan to actively incorporate the knowledge and technology required for problem solving in various water areas without limiting the research theme.
