He has been the key researcher in several research projects in U.K.

PRIMARY EXPERTISE

Experimental Hydrodynamics – Strong background and active research activities in towing tank, cavitation tunnel and full scale trials, regarding to resistance and propulsion, coating hydrodynamics, laser based measurements, cavitation and hydro-acoustic test.

Computational Fluid Dynamics – Specialised in using CFD simulation to predict the performance of ship hull, propeller cavitation, hydrodynamic energy saving devices and seakeeping.

Experimental and full-scale ship powering performance monitoring, prediction and analyses

  • Powering performance prediction of ships using numerical methods as well as towing tank tests, cavitation tunnels experiments and full-scale trials.
  • Execution of full-scale noise, vibration, seakeeping and manoeuvring trials. 

On-board ship performance data monitoring, collection and analysis to investigate the effect of hull and propeller condition, cavitation and underwater radiated noise.
