A coupled level set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) method is implemented for the numerical
simulations of interfacial flows in ship hydrodynamics. The interface is reconstructed via a …

In response to the extensive damage of coastal bridges sustained in recent tsunamis, this
paper describes an investigation into tsunami-induced effects on two common bridge types …

Recent major earthquake events that occurred in the Indian Ocean (2004), Chile (2010) and
Japan (2011) generated tsunami waves of significant heights, which inundated nearby …

This report presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of tsunami impact
on straight and skewed bridges. The 1: 5 scale specimens had realistic structural …

Numerical analyses were performed to investigate the characteristics of the slamming
impact loads on the bow-flare of a ship-type floating production storage and offloading …

The wave glider is an ocean-wave-propelled autonomous marine vehicle with unique dual-
body architecture, which can converse the energy obtained from the ocean wave into the …

Simply supported bridges comprise the majority of bridge systems in coastal communities
and are susceptible to severe damage from extreme waves induced by storms or tsunamis …

Experimental or numerical analysis of the response of ships and other floating structures
starts with correct environmental modelling. The capabilities of numerical tools are rapidly …

In this study, a numerical study was carried out on the wave impact problems between a
truncated circular cylinder and breaking waves by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

The present PhD research has been conducted thanks to a scholarship for postgraduate
studies given by the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACyT) in collaboration …
