The principal stresses that occur in soil below ground level often change direction due to
engineering activities. A typical example would be the cyclic loading applied by waves and …

An open source CFD solver, OpenFOAM®, has been used to create a numerical wave tank.
The study is based on the interFoam solver, ie a solver for incompressible multiphase flow …

A new 3D model is proposed within the framework of OpenFOAM for understanding the
physical processes of fluid–soil interactions in the vicinity of a mono-pile that considers both …

An umbrella suction anchor foundation (USAF) is a novel foundation for offshore wind
turbines. Compared to the local scour occurring around deep foundations such as …

The study aims to investigate the influence of tip clearance on the scour rate of pile-
supported horizontal axis tidal current turbine (TCT) and also attempts to correlate time …

In this study, an integrated model is developed to investigate the potential risk for failure of
caisson-type breakwaters caused by liquefaction in its loosely deposited sand foundations …

Computational morphodynamics in finite volume methods are based on the evaluation of the
rate of bed level change in the vertices on the deforming bed. With the use of finite volume …

This thesis describes the development of a numerical model for local scour caused by bed-
mounted obstacles, combining the hydrodynamic and morphological processes. The basis …

Local scour, a non-negligible factor in hydraulic engineering, endangers the safety of
hydraulic structures. In this work, a numerical model for simulating local scour was …

The flow after the rupture of a dam on an inclined plane of arbitrary slope, and the induced
transport of non-cohesive sediment, is analysed using the shallow-water approximation. An …
