NSERC/Seaspan Industrial Research Chair in Intelligent and Green Marine Vessels Dr. Rajeev Jaiman and Mechanical Engineering master’s graduate Rachit Gupta have created a three-dimensional deep learning-based computer model to predict unsteady fluid flow, in order to help scientists better understand fluid-structure interaction and ship radiated underwater noise. Underwater noise interferes with the ability of marine […]
