The Department of Naval Architecture, Diponegoro University, was honored to host Prof. (Assoc.) Simone Mancini, Ph.D. from the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, as an online guest lecturer.
Over the course of two engaging sessions, Prof. Mancini delivered lectures on cutting-edge topics in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), titled:
- “Advances in CFD for High-Speed Craft: Challenges and Applications”
- “Verification and Validation in CFD: Simulation of High-Speed Craft”
These lectures aligned closely with the department’s research focus, as numerous faculty members and students are actively involved in CFD-based studies on high-speed vessels. Prof. Mancini’s presentations provided deep insights into the challenges and methodologies in modern CFD research, especially in the context of high-performance marine vehicles.
The sessions were highly interactive, with students showing great enthusiasm and curiosity through a series of thoughtful and technical questions. The discussions highlighted the growing interest and capability of UNDIP’s students in advanced naval hydrodynamics and simulation-based design.
The Department of Naval Architecture expressed its sincere appreciation to Prof. Simone Mancini, Ph.D., for his valuable time, inspiring lectures, and generous knowledge sharing. This event also marks an important step in strengthening the academic collaboration between Diponegoro University and the University of Naples Federico II, with hopes for future joint research and exchange opportunities.
