Three-dimensional modeling of dilute sediment concentration around the synthetic sponge inspired by the tubular sponge mechanism

M Hashempour, M Kolahdoozan - Ocean Engineering, 2023 - Elsevier
Marine tubular sponges use horizontal suction to receive the nutrients from the perforated
body and pump the undigested materials from the top mouth. The idea of a synthetic sponge …

Numerical modeling of sediment-flow around obstacle inspired by marine sponges: considering body configurations

M Hashempour, M Kolahdoozan - International Journal of Engineering, 2023 - ije.ir
Coral reefs are exposed to extinction due to the sediment blocking through coral colonies. In
this condition, there is no practical solution that originates from nature. Among all aquatic …
