Dr Mingyi Tan is Lecturer within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
Mingyi Tan is a lecturer in Ship Science, within Engineering and Physical Sciencest with a background in applied mechanics, numerical analysis and computer simulations.
He studied the engineering mechanics and obtained his BSc and MEng degrees at 1982 and 1984 in Tsinghua University, China. He received his PhD in 1994 from University of Southampton on computational fluid dynamics. He then worked as a research fellow until 2007 and as a lecturer since.
Mingyi is experienced in both development and applications of computational methods for fluids, and fluid-structure interactions and he has expertise in computer simulations and software solutions to problems found in different engineering disciplines and industry.
Mingyi has been working on a number of research and consultant projects, such as a sloshing analysis for IHI, a pipe flow study for National Grid and hydrodynamic analysis of a wave energy device for Carbon Trust. Some of the software tools developed from these projects are also used for student projects and further researches. He has also collaborated in research with organisations such as BMT, Lloyds Register and DSME
