Welcome to our new website!
At the University of Strathclyde, Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering, our group offers an interdisciplinary and international platform for postgraduate students as well as researchers.
At our group we develop and apply a range of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) codes and algorithms with the aim to advance understanding of fundamental fluid problems and apply this knowledge to analyse and optimise fluid engineering problems.
We provide an open hub for academic-industrial cooperation, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration across different fields including biomimetics and marine renewable energy.
We are open for new student applications and industrial cooperation’s, please get in touch.

Finally getting back together, we enjoyed a BBQ to catch up in person and on an afternoon with stunning weather.
Congratulation to Yang Luo and Marvin Wright for the latest publication on Bioinspiration & Biomimetics on the study of a self-propelled flexible plate!
Congratulations to Yang Luo on passing the Viva-voce and his graduation!
We are excited to be funded by the Supergen ORE Hub to build a bio inspired AUV together with Dr. Mark Post! Read more.
We are delighted to officially welcome Dr Yang Huang to join our research group as a full time Research Associate working on Bionic Adaptive Stretchable Materials for Wave Energy Converters
