About
Wen Yang Duan is a leading figure in marine hydrodynamics and ocean engineering, with a particular focus on the design and performance optimization of autonomous marine vehicles. His most cited work, a 2015 study on the "Automated Oceanic Wave Surface Glider Robot," provides a foundational comparative investigation into the resistance prediction of wave gliders using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This research is critical for advancing the efficiency of these unique, wave-powered robots, which consist of a surfboard-like float and a submerged sub with wings connected by an umbilical tether. By demonstrating how wave energy can be harvested for propulsion, Duan’s contributions directly support the development of long-endurance, low-power ocean monitoring systems. His work has garnered significant attention, with this key paper accumulating 6 citations, reflecting its importance in the field. Duan’s research is instrumental for students and engineers seeking to understand the complex fluid-structure interactions that govern the performance of next-generation autonomous oceanographic platforms.
