Abstract: A vertical two-dimensional numerical model for local scour beneath an offshore pipeline exposed to waves is developed in this study. Waves are modeled as sinusoidally oscillatory flows, and the phase-resolved velocity field ...

Abstract: A vertical two-dimensional numerical model is employed to study the scour beneath a vibrating pipe exposed to steady currents. The ability of the model is first validated against previous scour experiments concerning both ...

Abstract: Offshore structures are deployed extensively to harvest marine resources. Due to the harsh marine environments and heavy-duty working conditions, the risks associated with failure due to scour are high, and the need for ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the interaction of solitary waves (representative of tsunamis) with idealized flat-topped conical islands. The investigation is based on simulations produced by a numerical ...

Abstract: As the largest freshwater lake in China, Poyang Lake has been influenced by the urbanization process since the 1990s. Therefore, nutrient concentration data of Poyang Lake in the past three decades were selected for spatial ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for stochastic deterioration modeling and fatigue damage assessment for composite wind turbine blades operating in offshore environments. The fatigue damage of the composite blades is analyzed ...
