Mathematical Methods for Coastal Engineering

海岸工程不仅与当今的社会需求高度相关，而且与应对未来的气候影响密切相关。它寻求为沿海地区的洪水和侵蚀提供安全解决方案，并维持与贸易和经济相关的重要海上活动。它是一个多学科的学科，其中数学在理解和量化过程中起着重要作用。本提案概述了暑期学校的计划，以帮助博士候选人进一步提高他们在沿海工程数学方法方面的技能。包括一天的实地考察，学校计划运行10多天。讲座分为三个模块。第一个模块以一般的方式介绍基本的数学元素。第二个和第三个模块分别侧重于海岸流体动力学和形态动力学的具体数学方法。该学院主要面向从事海岸工程相关主题博士研究的英国学生。普利茅斯大学拥有全国最大的海岸工程团队之一。普利茅斯大学的工作人员将计划并提供大部分讲座。来自英国和欧洲各地的其他演讲者将带来深度和多样性，丰富暑期学校的经验。

Coastal engineering is highly relevant not only for present day societal needs but also for dealing with future climate impacts. It seeks to offer solutions for safety from coastal flooding and erosion in the coastal zone and maintaining vital maritime activities linked to trade and economy. It is a multi-disciplinary subject in which mathematics plays a big role in understanding and quantifying the processes. This proposal outlines the plan for a summer school to help doctoral candidates further their skills in mathematical methods in coastal engineering. The school is planned to run over ten days including a day for site visits. The lectures are organised in three modules. The first module introduces fundamental mathematical elements in a general way. The second and the third modules focus on specific mathematical methods in coastal hydrodynamics and morphodynamics respectively. The school is primarily aimed at UK students pursuing doctoral research on topics related to coastal engineering. The University of Plymouth has one of the largest coastal engineering groups in the country. Staff from the University of Plymouth will plan and deliver a significant portion of the lectures. Additional speakers invited from across the UK and Europe will bring depth and diversity to enrich the experience of the summer school.
