Description
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) performs research on ocean, estuarine, riverine, and watershed systems in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Department of Defense (DOD) Task Force in support of the Ocean Commission. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and support personnel work in CHL's internationally known, unique facilities. This team has developed state-of-the-art experimental and computational models for solving water resource problems worldwide. Physical facilities of approximately 1.7 million square feet and high-performance computing facilities at the DOD Supercomputing Research Center (http://www.erdc.hpc.mil) are the basic infrastructure for producing cutting-edge products for successful coastal, inland water resources, and navigation management. CHL work, although primarily in support of the DOD and the Corp's districts, also interfaces with other federal, state and local agencies, academia, conservation groups, and the general public, as appropriate. The Research Participation Program for USACE-ERDC-CHL provides opportunities to participate in new and on-going applied research and development projects. Research projects range from design guidance to three-dimensional computational models. Focus is placed on inland and coastal navigation, military logistics over the shore, dredging, flood control, storm and erosion protection, waterway restoration, fish passage, hydro-environmental modeling, water/land management, and other water and sediment-related issues facing the nation.

This research opportunity is located at the University of Florida (UF), Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment (ESSIE). As part of a collaboration between UF and the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), research activities will require occasional visits to CHL to enhance the research experience.
The fellow will participate in the design, development, and evaluation of numerical modeling techniques for generation and propagation of ship-borne waves in shallow water and other free-surface flows. The participant will gain experience with forward hydrodynamic models, co-developed in the Coastal Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) or the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and contribute to open-source projects on phase-resolving ship wave modeling. The participant will engage in interdisciplinary research that will involve both field and laboratory studies, as well as numerical modeling. The participant will utilize the state-of-the-art numerical wave model FUNWAVE-TVD to model ship wakes and their effects on adjacent shoreline in the context of intracoastal waterways. The participant will also have the ability to gain access and learn of supercomputing resources within the Department of Defense (DoD), to carry out their numerical simulation studies.
Desired Start Date: 9/1/2019
Appointment Length
