This article presents the current state-of-the-art understanding of underwater dilative slope
failure (breaching). Experimental investigations are reviewed, providing critical insights into …

This study utilizes three-dimensional simulations to investigate scour in combined wave–
current flows around rectangular piles with various aspect ratios. The simulation model …

In submerged sandy slopes, soil is frequently eroded as a combination of two main
mechanisms: breaching, which refers to the retrogressive failure of a steep slope forming a …

The literature suggests two forms of flow slides: breaching and liquefaction. Both forms of
failure have comparable ultimate circumstances, but the progression and sand movement …

Local scour, the displacement of particles around the periphery of subsea structures due to
fluid action, profoundly affects the operation of offshore wind mooring systems. However …

The paper presents three-dimensional (3D) simulations conducted to study scour around a
pair of twin piles arranged in different skew angle (α) configurations under combined wave …

A meshless local scour model for cylinder bridge foundation based on the smoothed particle
hydrodynamics (SPH) method is proposed in this paper. Differing from the traditional …

Coandă-effect-based collection stands out as the foremost technology in polymetallic-
nodule mining due to the absence of direct contact between the collector and the ocean …

In October 2021, the editorial office invited Prof. Xiaolei Liu, from the Ocean University of
China, Prof. Thorsten Stoesser, from University College London, and Dr. Xingsen Guo, from …

Although granular flows are ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications, researchers still
struggle to completely understand the underlying physics of such flows. Difficulties arise …
