Woodside Energy Ltd Wave Modelling within Extreme Tropical Cyclones Physical
Oceanography
*Victoria, Australia*
*BACKGROUND:
*Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) and Woodside Energy Ltd (WEL) are
seeking a suitably qualified student to undertake post-graduate study to
develop a wave forecast model suitable for extreme tropical cyclone
conditions.
*About Swinburne University of Technology
*Swinburne University of Technology is a large multi-sectoral and
multi-campus institution with a stated mission to be a pre-eminent
entrepreneurial university from the Asia-Pacific, thriving on new ideas and
knowledge and exploiting its intersectoral heritage to create value for its
stakeholders.
The Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences is host to most of the
engineering activities at Swinburne as well as key programs in aviation and
photonics. The Coastal Engineering and Physical Oceanography group of the
Faculty specialises in research of deep-water and finite-depth wave
dynamics, spectral modelling of wind-generated waves, wave breaking and
dissipation, air-sea interaction, wave-bottom interaction and turbulence.
*About Woodside Energy Ltd
*Woodside Energy Ltd. (WEL) is Australia's largest offshore oil and gas
producer and operator of the North West Shelf project. Over a period of 20
years, WEL has been conducting and sponsoring applied and fundamental
oceanographic research. The issue of enhancing understanding of extreme
tropical cyclones, and in particular improving the wave forecast under such
conditions, is among the current priorities of the research sponsored by the
company.
*PROJECT ABSTRACT:
*Accurate wind wave models are essential for all elements of extreme air-sea
interaction, including loads on structures, upper-ocean mixing and bottom
boundary layer formation. At present, physics of such models is mostly based
on theory and experiments applicable to moderate wind/wave situations, which
physics is then extrapolated to extreme conditions. Since air-sea
interaction at such tropical cyclones is known to be different, the models
manifest inconsistent results. This is a major concern for engineering
design applications. The project is intended to produce, parameterise,
implement and test new energy source/.sink functions for the wave forecast
models, based on direct measurements in the extreme tropical cyclones and on
recent theoretical advances in this field.
*SELECTION CRITERIA*
1. Honours degree in Physical or Mathematical Sciences (essential)
2. Strong analytical and mathematical skills (essential)
3. A good working knowledge of programming (desirable)
*Commencement Date: *March 2008
*Scholarship: *A$24,815 per annum, tax exempt. Duration – three years
*Application Deadline: *31 January 2008
