Professor Seok Woo-chan of Pukyong National University Receives Young Researcher Award from the Korean Society for Computational Fluid Engineering

Professor Seok Woo-chan of the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Systems Engineering at Pukyong National University received the 2nd Young Researcher Award from the Korean Society of Computational Fluid Engineering.

Professor Seok was recognized for his original and outstanding achievements in the field of computational fluid engineering at the 2023 Korean Society of Computational Fluid Engineering Fall Conference and General Meeting held on the 12th at Lahan Select in Gyeongju.

Since last year, the Korean Society of Computational Fluid Engineering has been awarding the Young Researcher Award to emerging researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of academic and technological fields in computational fluid engineering theory and applications both domestically and internationally.

Professor Seok developed a turbulence model simulating secondary flows observed in the wake of ultra-large crude oil carriers, reducing ship resistance and enhancing propulsion performance. Over the past five years, he has published 12 SCIE-level papers and 10 KCI-level papers, earning recognition for his excellent research achievements.

Previously, he received the ‘Future Marine Science and Technology Award (Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Award)’ in 2020 and the ‘KISTI High-Performance Numerical Analysis Award’ from the Korean Society of Computational Fluid Engineering in 2021, among other accolades.

Since joining Pukyong National University in 2021, Professor Seok Woo-chan has been engaged in educational activities related to ship hydrodynamics, including ship resistance theory, ocean wave mechanics, ship propeller design, ship resistance experiments, and fluid mechanics experiments, as well as research and development activities based on open-source platforms.
