Xinyuan Shao

Xinyuan Shao is a Researcher at the Marine Technology department, Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology. Their work focuses on simulation frameworks for wave energy converters (WECs), particularly analyzing power performance, mooring fatigue, and hydrodynamic interactions in wave parks.

• Projects: ESOMOOR (2024–2027), INTERACT (2020–2024), WAVEMEASURE (2020–2024). Collaborators include Jonas Ringsberg, Huadong Yao, and the Swedish Energy Agency.

Research Interests: Integrating power take-off systems into WEC simulations, co-simulation using FMI standards, and studying fatigue damage in mooring lines for floating offshore systems. They also explore near-wall atmospheric modeling for forests via GPU-accelerated lattice Boltzmann methods.

Publications span journals like Ocean Engineering, Energy Conversion and Management, and Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics. Their work addresses both technical and environmental challenges in marine energy systems.
