• Multi-scale multi-model simulations of FSI in marine engineering (Prof Ma and Dr Yan)
  This is an area which can cover many projects. In terms of methodology, the numerical methods based on fully nonlinear potential theory, full viscous theory and/or hybrid models may be developed for simulating nonlinear FSI in marine engineering. In terms of applications, the simulations may be applied to platforms/structures for oil/gas, for offshore wind energy system and for wave energy. In terms of physics, the simulations may be employed to study the nature of VIV, the wave impact on the structures, turbulent effects on wave loading, aeration effects on structural responses and so on.
• Oil spilling from damaged oil tankers subjected to high sea state (Dr Yan)
  This area is an extension of the multi-scale multi-model simulation of FSI in marine engineering, but is more specifically an environmental issue. It requires to build a hybrid model coupling the large-scale wave modelling using potential flow theory with small-scale FSI near the damaged oil tanker using multi-phase VOF model. It is expected to advance our understanding on the dynamic oil spilling process and its interaction with tank motions and marine environment.
• Free vibration of single and multiple-walled carbon nano-tubes (Prof Banerjee)
• Response of functionally graded structures to deterministic and random loads (Prof Banerjee)
• Dynamic stiffness formulation for a new generation of non-standard structural elements (Prof Banerjee)
• Static and dynamic properties of FRP reinforced concrete structures (Dr Feng and Prof Banerjee)
• Experimental tests on vortex induced vibration (VIV) (Dr. Cheung)
• Study on long span floors and particularly on the ultra slim floor beam (Prof. D’Mello)
• Wind-tall building interaction (Dr. Fu)
• CFD modelling the real life fire development inside tall buildings (Dr. Fu)
