The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater
is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in …

This paper considers the flow in porous media that occurs in coastal and offshore
engineering problems. Over the past decades numerous formulations of flow equations for …

Highlights•A VARANS+ Volume-averaged k− ω turbulence model is developed to simulate
flow in porous media.•The model implemented in OpenFOAM is validated for both steady …

Hydraulic experiments using physical scale models of monopile scour protections typically
have high experimental uncertainties and data scattering. These uncertainties may severely …

New laboratory experiments have produced detailed measurements of hydrodynamics
within swash generated by bore collapse on a steep beach. The experiments are based on …

Bottom friction dissipation is a key factor for wave attenuation in nearshore environments
presenting complex geomorphological structures, such as rocky or coral shores. The present …

Together with new opportunities, offshore wind farms raise new engineering challenges. An
important aspect relates to the erosion of bottom material around the foundation of the wind …

Two parallel experiments involving the evolution and runup induced by plunging regular
waves near the shoreline of a slo** bed are considered:(1) a rigid‐bed experiment …

Ultra‐rough oceanic surfaces, such as oyster reefs, are characterized by densely‐packed,
sharp‐edged roughness elements that induce high frictional resistance on the ambient …

Experiments have been conducted in a large oscillatory flow tunnel to investigate the effects
of acceleration skewness on oscillatory boundary layer flow over fixed beds. As well as …
