Tsunami scour around a cylinder
TL;DR: In this article, a series of scale-model experiments investigated the scouring mechanisms associated with a tsunami impinging on a coastal cylindrical structure, and the most rapid scour occurred at the end of drawdown after flow velocities subsided and shear stresses were presumed to have decreased.

Organism traits determine the strength of scale-dependent bio-geomorphic feedbacks: A flume study on three intertidal plant species
Tjeerd J. Bouma,Stijn Temmerman,L.A. van Duren,E. Martini,Wouter Vandenbruwaene,David P. Callaghan,Thorsten Balke,Geert Biermans,P.C. Klaassen,P. van Steeg,F. Dekker,van de Johan Koppel,M. de Vries,Peter M. J. Herman +13 more
TL;DR: Hydrodynamic results demonstrate that plant species traits interact with environmental conditions in creating scale-dependent feedbacks explaining why the effects of vegetation on landscape formation in saltmarshes are species specific.

Structural permeability effects on the interaction of a solitary wave and a submerged breakwater
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of several parameters on the interaction of a solitary wave and a submerged breakwater were systematically investigated, including the incident wave height, the aspect ratio of the breakwater, and the porosity including the impermeable case.

Steady current induced seabed scour around a vibrating pipeline
TL;DR: In this article, the coupling effects between pipeline vibration and sand scour are investigated experimentally, and it is shown that there often exist two phases in the process of sand scouring around the pipeline with an initial embedment.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated framework of Extreme Learning Machines for predicting scour at pile groups in clear water condition
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated framework of Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) was developed to predict local scour depth around pile groups in clear water, and the results indicated that ELM outperformed the existing methods with a high level of accuracy.

General Theory of Three‐Dimensional Consolidation
TL;DR: In this article, the number of physical constants necessary to determine the properties of the soil is derived along with the general equations for the prediction of settlements and stresses in three-dimensional problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical study of slightly viscous flow
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method for solving the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in two space dimensions at high Reynolds number is presented, where the crux of the method lies in the numerical simulation of the process of vorticity generation and dispersal, using computer-generated pseudo-random numbers.

Hydrodynamics around cylindrical structures
B. Mutlu Sumer,Jørgen Fredsøe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment.
Book
Physical models and laboratory techniques in coastal engineering
TL;DR: This book is about the art and science of physical modeling as applied in coastal engineering, and consolidates and synthesizes into a single text much of the knowledge about physical modeling that has been developed worldwide.
