Coastal Processes Expert Group
The group Both fundamental and applied research is undertaken on coastal processes.
The group has underpinning capability in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), including shallow flow solvers, finite-volume methods (STREAM), and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and in experimental methods.
