The University of Liverpool
The University of Liverpool is a world leader in
coastal and maritime engineering. Given the city’s
rich maritime links, it is able to conduct a lot of its
research in the local area. The University has its own
Maritime Engineering Research group which has a long
tradition in coastal protection and management based
on detailed understanding of shoreline hydrodynamics
and morphology. The group also has newly furbished
cutting-edge physical laboratory housed in the main
Campus of the University of Liverpool, including unique
large scale flumes for hydrodynamics and sediment
transport studies, capable of simulating different waves
and current conditions.
The group’s research in maritime engineering has
established a wide range of collaborations worldwide
through a number of national and international research
programmes, including partners from the UK, Europe,
Australia, South Korea, Japan, the USA and China. The
University have access to powerful computing facilities
at the University High Performance Computing facility
as well as the national facilities at the Daresbury
Laboratory through close collaborations in research
projects. These facilities enable the University to work
collaboratively with national and international leading
research organisations in various frontier of coastal and
maritime engineering science.
The group’s expertise has also extended to the
emerging UK priority area of marine renewable energy,
with ongoing research into tidal barrage and tidal stream
generation. Experimental research is concerned with
evaluating the effectiveness of tidal stream turbines in
realistic flows in the high speed water channel, while
theoretical modelling of the fundamental fluid mechanics
processes is carried out in collaboration with the NERC
National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool on campus,
and with industrial and international partners from the
UK, Europe and the Far East. The group is internationally
leading in advanced computer modelling technique,
such as the Lattice Boltzmann Method.
Liverpool John Moores University
Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) are
particularly strong in the field of coastal and maritime
engineering with a rich history in this area. In 1825
LJMU opened England’s first ever mechanics’ institute.
67 years later in 1892, LJMU made history again, by
opening England’s first nautical college. Since then,
the school, now known as the School of Engineering,
Technology and Maritime Operations has thrived.
Today, in the City of Liverpool, which has the largest
cluster of maritime businesses outside of London – the
school is one of the UK’s leading centres for maritime
and engineering education. The School also has an
exceptional reputation for producing world-leading
research and have business partners across the world.
The work of the school is supported by collaborations
with industrial and regulatory organisations, including:
Maersk Line, Peel Group, Shell, ABS Group, UK Health
and Safety Executive and Maritime and Coast Guard
Agency. The School has access to some of the world’s
finest facilities including the maritime simulation
facilities which has the only full 360° field-of-view visual
system ship-handling simulator in the UK.
