Mr. Lander Galera-Calero is a PhD Student under the Doctorate program of the University of the Basque Country, under our supervision. He is working on the optimization of a numerical wave flume to be validated through the experimental wave flume installed in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of the School of Engineering in Bilbao. His research is now focused on simulating the reflection produced by a movable dissipation area, in order to address the wave characteristics for different waves whose conditions can be modified. Furthermore, he is also working on an artificial neural network for the calculation of the reflection coefficient for each depth, wave and beach position, respectively. After completing this step, he will be starting research on 2D effects in floating structures in order to simulate all the associated forces that affect any floating structure, such as wind turbine structures, by coupling different benchmark codes such as OpenFOAM, FAST, Star CCM+ and other dynamic codes for the arrays.
