Abstract: The predictive capability of a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model for sediment transport and resulting scour around a structure is investigated in this study. Starting with the bed-load and ...

Abstract: The nonlinear dynamic interaction among water waves, composite breakwater and a sand seabed of finite thickness is studied experimentally and numerically in this work. Laboratory experiments were conducted to record the ...

Abstract: Coastal disasters such as sliding, settlement, and overturning of coastal structures as well as subsidence of reclaimed areas occur due to toe scouring and backfilling sand discharge. In this study, the sand discharge ...
