34th International Workshop on Water Waves and Floating Bodies
Abstract
34th International Workshop on Water Waves and Floating Bodies(1) Overall Scientific Value and technical meritsThe International Workshop on Water Waves and Floating Bodies (IWWWFB: https://www.carma.newcastle.edu.au/meetings/iwwwfb/) is an annual meeting for engineers and scientists with a particular emphasis on water waves and their effects on floating and submerged marine structures. Aimed at promoting communication between researchers in the UK and the USA, the workshop has enjoyed strong interest from researchers in many other countries around the world. The workshop places particular emphasis on the participation of younger researchers and scientists and presentation of preliminary basic scientific works before their publications elsewhere.Among the distinguished scientists who will attend the workshop in 2019 are:~ David V. Evans, Bristol University, UK. Professor Emeritus.~ J. Nicholas Newman, MIT, USA. Professor Emeritus.~ Rodney Eatock-Taylor, Oxford University, UK. Professor Emeritus.~ Odd Faltinsen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Norway, Professor.~ Bernard Molin, Ecole Centrale Marseille, France, ProfessorThis workshop provides a forum for organizing and spreading knowledge in this area. The success of the Workshop is due not only to the dedication of the participants, but also to the efforts of the hosts and organizers for each event, and to the financial support of many governmental, industrial and maritime sponsors. 2) Naval relevanceThe main topics covered at this workshop incudes marine hydrodynamics, ship hydrodynamics, seakeeping, and free-Surface effects. As such, this workshop is aligned with the Mission Capable, Persistent & Survivable Sea Platforms, supporting the Naval R&D Framework priority of Operational Endurance. In recognition of its relevance to the Navy, ONR has supported the Workshop a number of times during its 32 year history, most recently in 2015. (Workshop in Bristol, UK). The Workshop has always had a strong focus on ship related problems, and ONR has also funded a significant part of this research work. In particular, in a world where maritime security is a crucial issue, the naval architecture community has been approached to contribute to the effort to improve the understandings and knowledge of ocean-ship interactions, thus providing the Navy with effective and validated design tools.
