Project description
This project develops a fundamental understanding of wave-current interactions in physical and numerical modelling and their interplay with marine growth and biofouling at offshore structures. Novel benchmark datasets of oblique wave-current interaction will be derived from model testing in COB and saltwater flume for numerical model validation, enabling performance
