Local scour at monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines is one of the most critical
structural stability issues. This article reviews the contemporary methods of scour …

Local scour, caused by currents, waves, rainstorms, and wind, was the main issue that
affected the stability and fatigue life of cross-sea bridge foundation. Necessarily, the …

Bedload movement is fundamentally probabilistic. Our quantitative understanding of gravel
transport is particularly limited when flow conditions just exceed thresholds of motion, in part …

The highly dynamical entrainment and transport processes of solids due to geophysical
flows is a major challenge studied by water infrastructure engineers and geoscientists alike …

In steady sediment transport, the deposition of transported particles is balanced by the
entrainment of soil bed particles by the action of fluid forces or particle-bed impacts. Here we …

Quantifying the force regime that controls the movement of a single grain during fluvial
transport has historically proven to be difficult. Inertial micro-electromechanical system …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are mobile sensors assemblies constructed using a
combination of MEMS (micro electrical mechanical systems) accelerometers, gyroscopes …

Abstract The Smart Sediment Particle (SSP) instrumented with multiple sensors to obtain tri-
axial linear accelerations is used for studying the mechanism of coarse grain entrainment …

An instrumented smart sediment particle (SSP) is used to investigate the entrainment of
spherical coarse grains resting on a rough bed comprising semi-spherical elements. The …

This paper presents an experimental methodology for tracking trajectories of rockfall-
saltation and extracting kinematic parameters from collisions between rockfalls and a slope …
