Started by Tatjana and Arnaud under the supervision of Frederic in January 2020, this project is aiming at achieving better field planning through daily weather forecast and field observations. In time it will allow our group to derive statistical informations.
Over the last 20 years, Professor Frédéric Dias (UCD School of Mathematical Sciences, UCD CASL and UCD Earth Institute) has been at the forefront of research on water waves.
Professor Dias is an applied mathematician with a PhD in Civil Engineering who has made numerous pioneering contributions that have significantly advanced the field of fluid dynamics. His research contributions have spanned the fields of mathematics, mechanics, physics and civil engineering, and he is widely recognised as an expert in nonlinear wave motion. A key element of his success is his ability to work at the interface of mathematics and engineering, a rare combination in this research field.
He has directed numerous research projects among which the most recent are available through this web portal.
Welcome to the Researchers Section of the UCD School of Mathematics & Statistics Wave Group. To find out more about our Researchers and view their profiles click on the links above under the section called Researchers.
The Wave Group is based both at Centre Borelli of ENS Paris-Saclay, France (Navier team) and in UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics, Ireland (Stokes team). Together we are the "Navier-Stokes"...
Fluid mechanics has fascinated researchers for centuries and continues to do so today. Fluid mechanics is a very rich topic, covering a wide variety of applications (meteorology, climate, ocean waves, aeronautics, biomechanics, food industry, ship industry, oil and gas).
The group is heavily involved not only in fundamental theoretical descriptions of Fluid Mechanics, but also in Computational Fluid Mechanics, and thereby interacts with major European supercomputing centres.
The group is proud to have hosted three ERC grants, the ERC Advanced Grant (MULTIWAVE on rogue waves and HIGHWAVE on wave breaking) and one ERC Proof of Concept (WAVEMEASUREMENT on the measurement of extreme ocean waves).
Our group plays a key role in European initiatives promoting interactions between mathematics and industry.
Fluid mechanics has enjoyed a rich interaction with many other areas in mathematics (partial differential equations, statistics) and many other schools (geophysics, mechanical engineering, biology, physics).
