معرفی
Chang Xu serves as an Instructional Assistant Professor in the Department of Ocean Engineering at Texas A&M University's Galveston campus, with office PMEC 135 and contact email xuchang@tamu.edu.
His educational credentials comprise dual doctoral degrees:
- Ph.D. in Ocean Engineering from Texas A&M University (2022)
- Ph.D. in General and Fundamental Mechanics from Harbin Institute of Technology (2017)
Dr. Xu's research centers on nonlinear wave mechanics, gravity-capillary waves, experimental fluid mechanics, and random vibrations. His experimental work utilizes non-intrusive optical techniques including particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) to investigate complex fluid phenomena such as wave dynamics and cavitation processes. Key applications include friction drag reduction for marine vehicles and analysis of air-sea boundary interactions.
His publication record (2016-2021) reveals concentrated expertise in fluid-structure interactions, with recurring themes in wave pattern formation, cavitation dynamics, and vibration analysis across ocean engineering contexts. The research demonstrates methodological versatility through combined experimental, numerical, and signal processing approaches.
As a core member of the Non-Intrusive Flow Measurement Laboratory (NFML) under Prof. Marc Perlin, Dr. Xu contributes to investigations of free-surface flow physics with emphasis on energy-efficient marine technologies and extreme wave event prediction.
