Research Interests

My research focuses on hydrodynamic modeling, with a general concentration on shallow water wave phenomenon. Much of my work is numerical-based, although experimental and field components play a significant role in my projects. Current research includes multi-scale wave modeling, hybrid and parallel numerical computing, investigations into tsunami breaking, and extraction of energy from nearshore wind waves. See my research page for details on specific projects.

Keywords:

Numerical modeling of coastal processes; tsunami propagation and runup; wind wave evolution from deep to shallow water; sediment transport in the coastal zone; wave interaction with permeable structures such as breakwaters; internal waves; wave energy.

Announcements

Looking for Undergraduate Researchers! Positions are open for REU students to work at Oregon State University during the Summer of 2008. Students will work on topics related to tsunami wave breaking and runup along irregular coastlines. Information about the REU program at OSU can be found here. Contact Dr. Lynett if you are interested.
