About the Laboratory
Introduction
The Coastal and Ocean Engineering Laboratory at Hanyang University uses field observations, numerical modeling and physical model experiments to understand coastal environments and processes. We apply this knowledge to engineering approaches that reduce coastal hazards and erosion.
Research Areas
- Coastal Hydrodynamics through Physical Model Experiments and Field Observations
- Coastal Hazards Caused by Extreme Waves and Tsunamis
Developing relationships to estimate horizontal tsunami forces and the maximum horizontal forces on vertical structures.
- Sediment Transport and Coastal Erosion: Large-Scale Dune Erosion Experiments and XBeach Modeling
- Wave-Breaking Turbulence: Field Observations and Numerical Modeling
- Marine Renewable Energy
