PhD candidate
University of Delaware
Yeulwoo Kim is a PhD candidate in the civil and environmental engineering department at the University of Delaware.Under the supervision of Dr. Tian-Jian Hsu, he is completing his doctoral degree with an expected degree date of December 2018. He earned BS and MS degrees at Seoul National University, South Korea. His research integrates disparate physical processes occurring at different scales (thin bottom boundary layer to nearshore region), sites (swash zone to surf zone), and dynamics (hydrodynamics and sediment transport) by utilizing/creating various numerical models in order to understand their interplay and impact to coastal sustainability subject to extreme wave events. His current works are based on investigating the breaking-wave-driven sheet flow on a surf zone sandbar using a free surface resolving two-phase Eulerian sediment transport model and the evolution of tsunami-induced turbulent coherent structures (TCSs) using a 3D large eddy simulation.
