Thesis Topic
Integrated Numerical Modelling Approach for Design of Offshore Aquaculture Structures
PhD Start Date
November 2021
PhD Project Objectives
The design and analysis of offshore structures is associated with a unique set of challenges that require knowledge of various engineering disciplines. The goal of this project is to develop an integrated numerical modelling framework that can yield optimal mooring and anchor structure designs capable of withstanding the constrained environment and field conditions in both low and high energy areas. The integrated framework will couple state of the art geotechnical and mechanical numerical modelling approaches to study the behaviour of cage-mooring-anchor interactions. The framework can then be used to design and optimise offshore aquaculture structures, taking into account different design variables.
Biography
I was born in Turkmenistan and graduated from high school in the north of the country in 2013. I completed my BSc degree in Civil Engineering in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus from the Eastern Mediterranean University. Then I got my MSc degree in Hydraulics from Eskisehir Osmangazi University in Turkey. During my MSc research, I studied computational fluid dynamics and optimisation. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the current project, I use my previous knowledge and learn much more from other disciplines of computational and experimental engineering.
