Research
We specialise in experimental hydrodynamics of ship propellers, thrusters, turbines, foils, surfaces, coatings and other innovative devices operating in water. We investigate phenomena that impact in-service propulsive performance of marine vehicles.
Specific interests include:
- biofouling,
- surface roughness,
- material degradation,
- ageing,
- underwater radiated noise,
- vibration,
- weather effects,
- human factors.
