The impact of Strouhal number St (= 0.1–1.0), Reynolds number Re (= 50–2000) and
dimensionless wavelength λ (= 0.5–2.0) on the hydrodynamic performance of a travelling …

Sensing of wind pressures on wind-sensitive structures and wind speeds in densely
populated cities is crucial to ensure structure safety and monitoring urban wind environment …

Wake interaction provides hydrodynamic gain and flow-aided navigation in fish schools. The
lateral spacing L y and phase angle Φ relative to upstream wake are two important states for …

Sensing is the cornerstone of any functional structural health monitoring technology, with
sensor number and placement being a key aspect for reliable monitoring. We introduce for …
