The response of structures to Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) is heavily influenced by the
type of confinement of the surrounding bodies. The vortex patterns and motion responses …

In this study, we propose a novel self-tuning vortex-induced vibration (VIV)-based
piezoelectric energy harvesting system with a slidable bluff body configured in a circular …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is increasingly applied in the study of fishways.
Applications and methodologies, however, vary substantially among scientific studies and …

The flow field near bridge piers is analysed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
models to investigate bridge scour, which is one of the main safety concerns for bridges …

This paper explores flood-induced hydrodynamic and debris impact forces on masonry arch
bridges using the numerical method smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Masonry arch …

In countries with steep rivers, such as Japan and the United States, bridges fail on an annual
basis. Bridges on spread footings are especially susceptible to failure by hydrodynamic …

Masonry arch bridges form an essential part of existing transport infrastructure around the
world, including mainland Europe and the northeastern US. Recent extreme flood events …

Despite a lot of research on the flow past cylinders in an infinite medium, there is a great
deal that is unknown about flow structure affected by the free surface at high Froude …

A laboratory model study is performed to investigate the characteristics of wave impact
pressures on a monopile substructure for offshore wind turbines subjected to breaking …

Coastal bridges serve as lifelines connecting affected areas to the outside world after
extreme events such as tsunamis. It is thus important to predict tsunami loads applied to …
