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 …

Predicting thresholds of sediment motion is critical for a range of applications involving
sediment transport. However, thresholds for sediment motion can vary over an order of …

The sediment particles play a huge role in shaping the bed load transport. In this research,
240 water-tunnel experiments are carried out to investigate the incipient velocity of the …

Offshore wind power is rapidly developing as a source of clean energy. However, as local
scour of the foundation of an offshore wind turbine can create serious safety risks to the …

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 …

Bedload transport is a fundamental process by which coarse sediment is transferred through
landscapes by river networks and may be well described stochastically by distributions of …

Freestream turbulence in rivers is a key contributor to the flux of dissolved nutrients, carbon,
and other ecologically important solutes into porewater. To advance understanding of …

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 …
