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

Foundation scour is among the main causes of bridge collapse worldwide, resulting in
significant direct and indirect losses. A vast amount of research has been carried out during …

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 …

In European roadway and railway networks, many multi-span unreinforced arch bridges
were built in the last century. These structures are often characterized by piers with shallow …

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 …

Local scouring around the piers of bridges has been identified as one of the main problems
contributing to bridge failure globally. As such, the accurate prediction of safe scouring …

A set of three-dimensional numerical models is established to investigate the mechanisms of
local scour around three adjacent piles with different arrangements under steady currents …

Local scour of bridge piers is one of the main threats responsible for bridge damage.
Adopting scour countermeasures to protect bridge foundations from scour has become an …

Scour, or the localized loss of soil around the foundation, is a dominant factor contributing to
failure. Scour at bridge piers, columns of elevated buildings, and wind turbines with …

When building offshore wind turbines with monopile foundations, scour protection typically is
placed to avoid scouring of the soil close to the monopile. An important aspect is that the …
