The interaction between currents and ocean waves is a physical process commonly
occurring in coastal environments and is of importance for designers of offshore structures …

A numerical model is developed to study the wave propagation in the presence of a steady
current flow. This model is based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations …

When selecting suitable sites for tidal stream energy arrays a wide range of factors must be
considered, from the magnitude of the tidal stream resource, to realistic oceanographic …

Abstract Tidal Energy Converter (TEC) arrays are expected to reduce tidal current speeds
locally, thus impacting sediment processes, even when positioned above bedrock, as well …

Saline water intrusion and vertical stratification are two important phenomena in estuaries,
and thereby inextricably related to water mixing. In this study, a coupled 3D current-wave …

Wave-current interaction affects both wave characteristics and current properties and
therefore the combined forces on coastal structures. In the first part of this paper, a series of …

This paper reports an experimental investigation of open channel turbulent flow between
two inline surface mounted hemispherical obstacles in tandem arrangement. A series of …

To achieve longer-life liquid-metal fast reactor cores, designers are considering to increase
the wall gap of the wire-wrapped hexagonal fuel bundles to account for volumetric void …

Understanding ocean wave-current interactions' complex dynamics is crucial for coastal
engineering, marine operations, and climate research applications. This study introduces a …

A Navier-Stokes solver in OpenFOAM® is combined with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) surface
capturing method to investigate the wave interaction with depth-varying currents in …
