Supported by key engineering sediment laboratory, the port, coastal and offshore engineering research speciality mainly involves in the studies of the motion law of wave, tidal current, and sediment. It has conducted key technology researches for almost all the coastal ports of China and many foreign ports, including ports of South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and has made many innovations in related fields, including sediment motion law of muddy, silty, sandy coast, marine hydraulic power, and interactions with buildings etc.
Port and coastal engineering
Research direction
Coastal and estuarine evolution rule and harbor siting, channel constructing, sediment scouring and deposition and engineering measures. Forecast, disaster prevention and hazard mitigation measures against storm tide and flood, etc.
Interaction between hydraulic structure and wave, predication of wave element, wave stability condition and improvement measures, optimization of dock, breakwater and bank protecting section;
Evolution of tideland and coastal protection technology ;
Environmental demonstration for navigation safety in harbor area ;
Applied basic theory for interaction between hydraulic structure and hydrodynamic force of port ;
Compiling of water transport engineering construction standards .
Conducting key technology research for almost all Chinese coastal ports such as Dalian Port, Yingkou Port, Qinhuangdao Port, Caofeidian Port, Tianjin Port, Huanghua Port, Qingdao Port, Yangshan Port, Wenzhou Port, Guangzhou Port and Guangxi North Bay and the like as well as many foreign ports in Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia and other countries, and making a lot of innovation achievements in the field of sediment movement rule of muddy coast, silty sand coast and sandy coast and oceanic hydrodynamic force and building interaction as well. These innovation achievements not only solve important engineering problems but also enrich traditional professional theories in some fields, reaching international leading level. Completing scores of national key science and technology projects and important projects in related industry and compiling of technical standards and specifications.
