Join your colleagues from industry, academia and government
at the 28th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic
Engineering (OMAE 2009) in Honolulu, Hawaii from May 31 to June
5, 2009.
OMAE 2009 is the ideal forum for researchers, engineers, managers, technicians
and students from the scientific and industrial communities from around
the world to meet and present advances in technology and its scientific
support; to exchange ideas and experiences whilst promoting technological
progress and its application in industry; and to promote international
cooperation in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering.
Following on the tradition of excellence of previous OMAE conferences,
more than 400 technical papers organized into eight regular Symposia are
planned for presentation and will be complemented by five Special Symposia:
|
C.C. Mei Symposium on Wave Mechanics
and Hydrodynamics
This symposium honors the significant accomplishments of Professor
Chiang C. Mei in the fields of wave mechanics and hydrodynamics.
Professor Mei has been one of the leaders in these fields. His former
and current students and colleagues will join us to celebrate his
extraordinary accomplishments in the last 45 years.

Joint
Forum of ‘Offshore Technology’ and ‘Structures, Safety
and Reliability’ and ‘Ocean Engineering’ Symposia on
Shallow Water Waves and Hydrodynamics
Partial List of Topics included are Low frequency wave content of near-shore
waves (infra-gravity waves), Near-shore wave propagation and effects of
the shoreline, Low-frequency drift forces in long- and short-crested waves,
Low-frequency response of moored vessels, Mooring behavior in shallow
water, Effects of seabed bathymetry, Methods for shallow-water model testing,
Extreme wave propagation in shallow water, Extreme wave statistics in
shallow water, Shallow-water wave modeling and associated loads.
 Offshore
Renewable Energy Symposium
This is the third year that a specialty symposium is being organized
to specifically focus on offshore renewable energy developments and challenges.
There is a growing worldwide demand to increase the supply of renewable
energy and the world’s oceans offer the resources to meet these goals.
However, to exploit the potentials offered by offshore energy resources,
various regulatory and technology challenges must be addressed by the
engineering and scientific communities. The objective of this Symposium
is to provide a forum for the presentation of relevant information and
views on regulatory and technology issues to enhance the exploitation
of offshore renewable energy resource. Please

Short Courses Announced for OMAE 2009!
The weekend preceding the conference there will be four short courses
taught by world renowned experts:
Saturday, May 30
- Vortex Induced Vibrations
- Ice Engineering
Sunday, May 31
- Wave Energy Conversion and Resource Assessment
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
More information on the courses including lecturers, topics and course
fees will be ready soon.
OMAE 2009 is organized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME), the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OOAE) Division of
the International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI), and the University
of Hawaii. OMAE 2009 is sponsored by various professional associations
of many countries.
Join OMAE 2009 as an author, presenter, sponsor, exhibitor, and delegate!
See you in Honolulu!
