His research interests are primarily in structural dynamics, structural monitoring, and more recently in offshore and coastal engineering. He has published more than 300 international journal papers and conference papers, six invited book chapters and a book. He has delivered more than 25 keynotes and many invited presentations in Asia, North America and Europe. He has been granted nine patents in seven countries and serves in five journal editorial boards, including Structural Health Monitoring and Journal of Sustainable Oceans and Coasts. His expertise in structural and offshore engineering has been well sought after by the industry, having served as advisor and specialist in more than 130 industrial and infrastructure projects.
Speech title "Consistent Particle Method for Computational Dynamics in Offshore and Coastal Engineeringquot"
Abstract-Professor C. G. Koh and his research team at the National University of Singapore have developed a meshfree method for fluid dynamics, namely the Consistent Particle Method (CPM). By using a set of particles to represent fluid motion, this method can be used to simulate complex physical phenomena, particularly those involving violent and discontinuous water and sediment flows. Being fundamentally consistent with the Taylor series expansion, CPM approximates spatial derivatives with good accuracy without the use of kernel function or artificial values of physical parameters (such as viscosity and sound speed). This method has been applied to simulate wave impact on coastal/offshore structures, sediment transport and erosion, and fluid-structure interaction. This presentation will explain the numerical challenges and strategies for two-phase modelling of water and air, turbidity current and granular flow. Examples will be presented to compare CPM results with other numerical methods and experimental results.
