Wave Phenomena
I am interested in problems relating to the interaction of waves with structures in a variety of settings including fluids, elasticity, electromagnetics and acoustics. The main application areas are:
- Theoretical modelling of ocean wave energy converters.
- Metamaterials in water waves and acoustics.
- The interaction between ice sheets and ocean waves.
- Water wave propagation over variable bathymetry.
- The interaction of ocean waves with very large/complex structures.
- Trapped waves, edge waves and near trapping.
