Professor Kim Incheol of Pukyong National University Wins Outstanding Paper Award at APAC 2025

Achievements in Refining Ocean Wave Models
Highly Praised by the International Academic Community

Professor Kim Incheol from the Department of Ocean Engineering at Pukyong National University received the Outstanding Paper Award at the 12th Asia-Pacific Conference on Coastal and Port Engineering (APAC 2025).

At this conference, Professor Kim was highly praised for presenting a new higher-order nonlinear parabolic equation model in his paper, "A Nonlinear Higher-Order Parabolic Equation Model for Wide-Angle Water Waves." This model more accurately describes the behavior of waves propagating under the influence of seabed topography.

This research addresses the limitations of existing models and improves the accuracy of wave prediction, drawing attention for its potential to advance research and practical applications in the fields of coastal and ocean engineering.

APAC 2025 was held at the Paradise Hotel in Busan from November 4 to November 7, with more than 500 experts and researchers in coastal and port engineering from 19 countries in attendance.

Under the themes of "Sustainable Coastal Environment Conservation" and "Development of Advanced Port Technologies," over 250 research papers were presented, providing a platform for international academic exchange.
