Abstract: This note provides a practical stochastic method by which the effects of sandclay mixtures on the maximum equilibrium scour depth around vertical piles exposed to longcrested (2D) and shortcrested (3D) nonlinear random ...

Abstract: This paper provides a practical stochastic method by which the burial and scour depths of short cylinders and truncated cones exposed to long-crested (two-dimensional (2D)) and short-crested (three-dimensional (3D)) nonlinear ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used to study the seabed boundary layer flow around monopile and gravity-based offshore wind turbine foundations. The gravity-based foundation has a hexagonal bottom slab (bottom ...

Abstract: Interest is steadily growing for multi-rotor wind turbine concepts. This type of wind turbine offers a practical solution for scaling issues of large wind turbine components and for the reduction of costs associated with ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical studies of the dynamic responses of two jacket-type offshore wind turbines (OWTs) using both decoupled and coupled models. The investigated structures are the OC4 (Offshore Code Comparison ...

Abstract: The aquaculture industry is aiming to move fish farms from nearshore areas to open seas because of many attractive advantages in the open water. However, one major challenge is to design the structure to withstand the ...
