  • 2020 - Member of the National Academy of Engineering For contributions to ocean engineering and innovation of OpenCourseWare to make higher education freely available worldwide.

Overview

Dick K. P. Yue is affiliated with MIT in the United States and has an extensive research portfolio focused primarily on engineering and earth and planetary sciences. Their work spans multiple subfields, notably ocean engineering, computational mechanics, earth-surface processes, atmospheric science, and biomedical engineering.

The research topics covered by Yue include wave and wind energy systems, coastal and marine dynamics, fluid dynamics and mixing, fluid dynamics and heat transfer, ocean waves and remote sensing, particle dynamics in fluid flows, and fluid dynamics and vibration analysis.

Yue has published in several scientific venues, with a notable focus on the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, contributing eleven publications there. Other frequent publication venues include Physics of Fluids with three papers, the Journal of Molecular Structure with two publications, as well as the Journal of Computational Physics and Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, each with one paper.

Recent publications demonstrate engagement with fluid mechanics and wave energy converter technologies. These include:

  • Axisymmetric reflectors in wave energy converter arrays: Harnessing scattering to increase energy extraction (2023, Physics of Fluids)
  • Optimisation of the geometry of axisymmetric point-absorber wave energy converters (2021, Journal of Fluid Mechanics)
  • Fundamental time scales of bubble fragmentation in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (2023, Journal of Fluid Mechanics)
  • Modelling entrainment volume due to surface-parallel vortex interactions with an air-water interface (2022, Journal of Fluid Mechanics)
  • Effects of power-law entrainment on bubble fragmentation cascades (2021, Journal of Fluid Mechanics)

Yue collaborates frequently with several researchers, including Kelli Hendrickson, Yuming Liu, Declan B. Gaylo, Grgur Tokić, and Emma C. Edwards.

In recognition of their contributions to ocean engineering and the OpenCourseWare initiative aimed at expanding access to higher education, Yue was named a Member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2020.
