Nguyen's research employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate airflow dynamics in coastal dune systems and hydrodynamic performance of aquaculture structures. His publications address critical aspects of coastal geomorphology and sustainable marine engineering. Key works include "Controls on geomorphological stage of trough blowout evolution: Evidence from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) airflow modelling" (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2025, co-authored with Sarah Wakes and Mike Hilton); "The influence of length–width ratio of an unconventional mobile finfish structure on the drag force and dissolved oxygen: laboratory experimentation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" (Aquacultural Engineering, 2025, with Si Thu Paing et al.); "Influence of angle of attack on hydrodynamic performance and its implications for designing semi-mobile aquaculture structures: A CFD study" (Biosystems Engineering, 2025, with Si Thu Paing et al.); "A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study on changes in dissolved oxygen levels during a tidal cycle in a non-conventional finfish aquaculture structure" (Ocean Engineering, 2025, with Sarah Wakes et al.); "The influence of backdune morphology on air flow dynamics through an excavated foredune notch" (2024); "Wind flow dynamics and sand deposition behind excavated foredune notches on developed coasts" (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2022); "Aeolian sand transport thresholds in excavated foredune notches" (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2022); and "Incident wind angle and topographic steering through excavated foredune notches" (2021). These contributions enhance understanding of fluid-structure interactions for coastal protection and aquaculture efficiency.
