معرفی
Scott Brown is a Research Fellow in the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics at the University of Plymouth, affiliated with the Coastal Engineering Research Group. His research focuses on marine renewable energy systems, particularly hydrodynamic modeling of floating offshore wind turbines and wave energy converters.
Research interests include:
- Hydrodynamic response analysis of floating offshore structures
- Computational fluid dynamics for wave-structure interactions
- Experimental validation of numerical models in wave tanks
- Dynamic cable modeling for marine energy systems
- Extreme event modeling for offshore renewable installations
His recent work includes comparative studies of floating wind platform designs, sensitivity analyses of dynamic power cables, and investigations into focused wave impacts on marine energy converters. Research contributes to the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration Continuation (OC6) project for validating CFD models of floating wind turbines.
Dr. Brown utilizes both numerical approaches (OpenFOAM) and physical modeling in the COAST Laboratory to investigate environmental loading, structural responses, and mooring dynamics under extreme ocean conditions.
