On Aug. 29, JNU announced that Kim Dong-eun, a Ph.D. student ((Major of Wind Power Mechanical System Engineering, academic adviser, Kim Bum-suk), was finally selected for the "Doctoral Student Research Incentive Project“ of the "2023 Academic Subsequent Generation Support Project" by the Ministry of Education of Korea and the Korea Research Foundation.

This is the project to support research incentives in order to help Ph.D. students (including master's and doctorate integration courses and graduates) take the initiative and independently study creative and challenging ideas related to the research of doctoral dissertations in graduate school.

Kim Dong-eun was selected for the above support project under the theme of "a numerical and experimental study to derive an optimal damping model for floating offshore wind substructures that can respond to the actual marine environment." He will receive KRW 20 million in research incentives for one year from September 2023.

In this study, Kim proposed the development of a numerical model algorithm of damping force that can respond to the actual marine environment targeting viscous damping force among various external forces acting on floating offshore wind power substructures. From the results of this study, it is expected that the analysis results of floating body behavior with fast analysis time and high reliability can be obtained.

JNU Marine Engineering Laboratory has high-performance numerical analysis computers and software, two-dimensional harmonic tanks, and flow devices. Therefore, this laboratory provides an optimal environment for this study to be carried out. Using this research infrastructure, Kim also won the Grand Prize in Marine Science (Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Award) at the 2020 Future Marine Science and Technology Award.
