The principal aim of research in fluid–structure interactions is to explore and understand the behaviour of engineering artefacts in a maritime environment, with a view to better integrating their design, production and operation from safety, economic, environmental and societal viewpoints.
We host major industrial research links: Lloyd’s Register University Technology Centre in Hydrodynamics, Hydroelasticity and Mechanics of Composites, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s Advanced Technology Partnership (RNLI ATP) in Maritime Engineering and Safety, and the Ministry of Defence/Lloyd’s Register Centre of Excellence for Marine Structures.
