Scouring of piers and abutment has been recognized as the main cause of damage and
failure of bridges over waterways. The scientific community has produced a number of …

Experiments and numerical simulations are carried out to study clear-water scour around
three bridge piers with cylindrical, square, and diamond cross-sectional shape, respectively …

The fluid–structure interaction curvilinear immersed boundary (FSI-CURVIB) numerical
method of Borazjani et al.[3] is extended to simulate coupled flow and sediment transport …

Flume experiments were conducted to investigate the three‐dimensional flow structure and
turbulent flow mechanisms around a nonsubmerged, sidewall‐attached rectangular spur …

The method of large-eddy simulation (LES) is used increasingly to address research and
engineering problems of modern hydraulics. LES simulates directly the large-scale motion of …

In irrigation and drainage channels, vertical drops are generally used to transfer water from
a higher elevation to a lower level. Downstream of these structures, measures are taken to …

To permit the tracking of turbulent flow structures in an Eulerian frame from single‐point
measurements, we make use of a generalization of conventional two‐dimensional quadrant …

The scour at bridge foundations caused by supercritical flows is reviewed and knowledge
gaps are analyzed focusing on the flow and scour patterns, available measuring techniques …

Numerical models play a fundamental role in the development of marine hydrokinetic (MHK)
turbines, as they can evaluate their performance and assess interactions with the local …

Recent investigations on the dynamics of the turbulent horseshoe vortex system (THV)
around cylindrical piers have shown that the rich coherent dynamics of the vortical structures …
