5th DNVA-RSE Norway-Scotland Waves Symposium

The symposium is a follow-up of four highly successful previous symposia, held 14-15 October 2008 in the Norwegian Academy in Oslo, 1-2 November 2010 in RSE in Edinburgh, 2013 Oslo and 2015 Edinburgh.  Topics of this year's symposium include: internal waves, waves and ice, freak waves and wave-structure interaction as well as related aspects of stratified and buoyancy-driven oceanic flows. 

The scope of the programme will reflect the ongoing wave research projects in Norway and Scotland individually and in collaboration and it will include a special session celebrating the 6oth birthday of John Grue, the co-Director of the DNVA-RSE Waves symposia since their inception.

 

 

Introduction

There is high level research activity and common research interest in the topic of water waves including internal waves and surface waves in universities in Norway and Scotland, as well as existing embryonic collaborations on the subject between research groups in the two countries. This specialist symposium is organised under the auspices of the agreement signed in 2005 between the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA) and The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) to promote increased collaboration between the two national academies and the research communities in their respective countries. This 3rd Norway-Scotland DNVA-RSE waves symposium is a follow-up of two highly successful previous symposia, held 14-15 October 2008 in the Norwegian Academy in Oslo and 1-2 November 2010 in RSE in Edinburgh, 2013 Oslo and 2015 Edinburgh.

Topics of this year's symposium include: internal waves, waves and ice, freak waves and wave-structure interaction as well as related aspects of stratified and buoyancy-driven oceanic flows are studied by scientists in applied mathematics, physics, engineering and earth sciences. In the open sea, the waves carry large amounts of energy. Research on internal waves relates to ocean circulation studies, and in the more general context, to climate research. The detailed knowledge of surface waves is particularly of direct industrial relevance to offshore engineering including installations for renewable energy and hazards in UK and Norwegian waters.

The main aims of the Symposium will be:

  1. to expose the present scope of research activity relating to water waves in the individual countries,
  2. to provide advanced knowledge to Norwegian and Scottish graduate students working in this area,
  3. to explore in detail the initiation of new bi- or multi-lateral collaborative research projects involving Norwegian and Scottish scientists in this area and the extension and strengthening of existing cross-national collaborations of this kind,
  4. to identify fundamental, applied and industrial research problems with water waves that are relevant in Norway and Scotland as well as internationally and
  5. to promote the appropriate transfer of academic research advances to the industrial (offshore) sector.

Program

The symposium program will consist of 30 invited plenary lectures, on: ocean surface waves, waves and ice, currents and internal waves. The talks will cover nonlinear theories, numerical calculations, results from field work and laboratory experiments. Each talk will have a duration of 20min + 5min questions.

Monday 9th of January, from 09:00 to 19:00, 16 lectures

Tuesday 10th September, from 9:30 to 17:00, 14 lectures

The complete program will be announced on the Symposium Web-page by 20th of December.

Each presenter should prepare an extended abstract (2 A4 pages) of their talk, for publication on the Symposium web-page.

A banquet will be given in the Academy on the evening of Monday 9th of January (invitation only).

Important dates:

  • Acceptance of invitation (as soon as possible).
  •  1st December 2016, deadline, provisional title of talk.
  • 3 January, 2017 deadline, 2 page summary, for publication on the Symposium Web-page
