Development of a boundary integral code for simulating ocean wave breaking

The project involves developing a code for solving the Laplace equation with a free surface. The code will be used to simulate oceanic wave breaking under the potential flow approximation. Consider the project only if :

  1. You are strong in maths & physics.
  2. You are interested in programming & numerical computations.
