2012

Welcome to HARP 2012

Susan T. Brown, Ph.D.

Research Experience for Undergraduates◦ You will participate in meaningful research◦ You will work independently◦ You will work as part of a team◦ You will learn something new◦ You will experience:

What it is like to do academic research in CFD for Engineering problems

What it is like to do academic research at University of Hawai‘i◦ We will advance our department research◦ We will experience what it is like to have you on our team

We hope to have published research We strive for maximum discovery with minimum

frustration!

What we hope to accomplish – The Big Picture

To participate in research at this level, you need expertise/knowledge on three levels1. Theory of fluids2. Numerical concepts, use of numerical code3. High performance computing issues for large

problems We will provide sessions to

review/augment your basic knowledge in all these areas over the next two weeks

You will also begin your projects with your mentors, and apply what you learn.

Learning opportunities; Tools you will need

June 12-13, 2012 – Joint Hawai‘i-Korea Workshop on Engineering of Coastal Structures for Tsunami and Coastal Storm Surge Hazards◦ Mandatory for Matt, Stephanie, Jordan, and Adam◦ Others will decide with mentor if they will attend

If they attend, let Dr. Riggs know, so he can register them.

◦ Time: 1:30 pm – 6:30 pm. Students are expected to work on their research projects in the am.

Important Dates/Events

Friday, June 15, 2012◦ Visit to Pacific Tsunami Warning Center◦ Mandatory for all students

Sunday, June 3, 2012◦ Picnic at Fort DeRussy Beach Park◦ Not Mandatory, but lots of fun

Every Friday except June 15◦ Brown bag lunch in Holmes 287◦ Bring lunch and a drink◦ If I am in town, you get cookies or dessert, if not, you get me on

conference call or skype. (I’ll still be eating cookies.)◦ Be prepared to give a 5 minute summary of how it’s going with your

work and discuss everyone else’s work◦ Very informal – intended to help and avoid time-wasting blocks. Also

to leverage each other’s knowledge.◦ Mandatory for all students.
