Violent Overtopping of Waves at Seawalls
is Manager, Coastal Structures, at HR Wallingford. He has over 20 years experience in the study of design and performance of rubble mound, blockwork, and caisson breakwaters, sea walls, revetments, and related shoreline structures. He also has extensive experience of design, analysis and testing of coastal structures, including laboratory experience in UK, Italy and Nigeria. He also has wide experience in directing and conducting research studies, including responsibility as task or sub-task leader in European research projects under MAST I , II, and III. He has made substantial input to the development of UK and international research projects for new methods for the analysis and design of coastal and harbour structures He is currently the leader of the largest sub-task in the MAST III PROVERBS project. He has contributed to development and writing of UK national and international design manuals, and standards on coastal and harbour structures, including CIRIA / CUR 83 (1991), BS 6349 (1984 / 1991).
was appointed Lecturer in 1994. He has eight years experience in the development and application of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) - a flow measurement method capable of giving accurate map of an instantaneous velocities over a two-dimensional section through a flow. He has worked in the field of coastal structures for three years, initially collaborating with Prof. Oumeraci (then at the Franzius Institut, Universität Hannover, now at Leichtweiss Institut, Technische Universität Braunsweig). Since 1996, he has been a part of the PROVERBS project.
is Professor of Computational Mathematics in the Department of Computing and Mathematics at MMU and Director of the Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Flow Analysis (CMMFA). He has 24 years experience in CFD modelling and has published over 75 articles in refereed journals and international conference proceedings. The creation of advanced numerical methods have underpinned much of his work in areas related to aerospace, process engineering and environmental modelling sponsored by organisations such as British Gas , British Aerospace, the UK MoD, DERA and the Health & Safety Laboratory.
After joining MMU in 1986, he established a research group in aerospace CFD and widened its remit to include process engineering and environmental modelling applications. His current research interests inlude shock and blast wave modelling, including shock diffraction and focussing effects, Cartesian cut cell methods, Riemann-based finite volume schemes for compressible flow and hydraulics, and applications to air, river, estuarine and coastal flows. Professor Causon has been a member of various EPSRC Steering Groups, committees, grant awarding panels, appointments boards and the College of Peers for the Process Engineering area. He is currently a member of the Peer Review College for the EPSRC Cross-Programme Group as well as a reviewer EU and several academic journals. A list of recent publications is available here.
is a senior lecturer in the Department of Computing and Mathematics at MMU and co-Director of the CMMFA. He joined the University in 1993 and has since worked on the development of reduced reaction kinetic models for reactive chemistry in blast and detonation wave calculations and has contributed to work on grid generation and the development of shock capturing flow hydrocodes and urban air quality models. This work has been supported by various external sponsors including British Aerospace, MoD, DERA and the Health & Safety Laboratory. His current areas of interest include blast wave explosion hazards modelling, urban air flows and coastal engineering hydraulics. He has over thirty publications in refereed journals and international conference proceedings. Dr Ingram is a reviewer for EPSRC and several academic journals.

is a senior lecturer in the Department of Computing and Mathematics at MMU and co-Director of the CMMFA. He joined the University from industry in 1992, lecturing on digital communications, mathematical and environmental modelling and has since worked on the development of high resolution structured and cut cell shallow water solvers for coastal and estuarine flows and supporting numerical analysis, including the use of both finite volume and spectral methods. His current interests include the development of high resolution cut cell finite volume solvers applied to solute transport and hydraulics in 2 and 3D. He has over twenty-five publications in refereed journals and conference proceedings and is a reviewer for several academic journals. A list of recent publications is available here.
