Dr Wenhua Zhao and Dr Shiaohuey Chow have been recognised in the UWA Early Career Researcher Best Publication Awards. The awards are designed to acknowledge outstanding research accomplishments by Early Careers Researchers.

Dr Wenhua Zhao was awarded a Best Publication Award for his paper ‘Predication of hydrodynamic performance of an FLNG system in side-by-side offloading operation'. Published in the Journal of Fluids and Structures, the paper presents a comprehensive study on the hydrodynamics of an FLNG system with a focus on the nonlinear coupling effects of vessels and connection systems based on the concept FLNG prototype recently designed for South China Sea. Dr Zhao's paper can be accessed at doi 10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2013.11.021 .

Dr Shiaohuey Chow received a special commendation for her paper ‘Soil strength estimation and pore pressure dissipation for free-fall piezocone in soft clay', published in Géotechnique. Dr Chow's paper proposes an improved interpretation of free-fall piezocones (FFP) to estimate the soil undrained shear strength and coefficient of consolidation, derived from the first centrifuge modelling of FFPs in soft clay. The full paper can be accessed at doi 10.1680/geot.14.P.107 .

COFS congratulates Dr Zhao and Dr Chow on their achievements.
