Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems commonly encountered in engineering and
biological applications involve geometrically complex flexible or rigid bodies undergoing …

In this review, we introduce immersed boundary (IB) methods for fluid-structure interactions
(FSIs) of rigid and elastic bodies. IB methods impose momentum forcing on an Eulerian …

Experiments and numerical simulations are carried out to study clear-water scour around
three bridge piers with cylindrical, square, and diamond cross-sectional shape, respectively …

Laboratory experiments have yielded evidence suggestive of large-scale meandering
motions in the wake of an axial flow hydrokinetic turbine in a turbulent open channel flow …

Stingrays, in contrast with many other aquatic animals, have flattened disk-shaped bodies
with expanded pectoral 'wings', which are used for locomotion in water. To discover the key …

We simulate three-dimensional, turbulent flow past an axial-flow marine hydrokinetic (MHK)
turbine mounted on the bed of a rectangular open channel by adapting a computational …

Hydraulic factors have become the principal causes of bridge failures since the 1990s. They
account for around 50% of bridge failures in the database constructed by the present …

We develop a coupled hydro-morphodynamic numerical model for carrying out large-eddy
simulation of stratified, turbulent flow over a mobile sand bed. The method is based on the …

This article aims to provide a comprehensive appraisal on the current status of three-
dimensional (3D) numerical modeling of local scour around instream hydraulic structures …

This article presents a review of the state of research on bridge pier scour under combined
wave–current flow. The hydrodynamics and scour around the bridge pier under combined …
