Abstract: The convection velocity of vortex structures in the near wake of a circular cylinder was experimentally investigated over the region

Abstract: The prediction of the modal properties of structural systems with contact clearances and prestress presents a computational challenge, as the nonlinearity induced by piecewise-linear stiffness eliminates the use of efficient ...

Abstract: In Taiwan, many bridges span rivers that exhibit severe channel variations in response to drastically increased flows and resulting floods caused by typhoons and storms. Flood-induced scour can undermine the effective ...

Abstract: Flow characteristics around a circular cylinder positioned near a plane boundary (on which laminar boundary layer flow develops in the absence of circular cylinder), are investigated for Reynolds numbers

Abstract: This paper presents a new Boussinesq-type model equations for describing nonlinear surface wave motions in porous media. The mathematical model based on perturbation approach reported by Hsiao et al. is derived. The drag ...

Abstract: When subjected to a strong swirling jet flow induced by a rotating ship’s propeller, the bed of a waterway may undergo significant changes. These changes will not only cause instability to quay structures and damage the ...

Abstract: The flow patterns of various dropping flows were investigated and classified experimentally for subcritical approach flows passing a vertical drop pool. A wave gauge was used to measure the free surface fluctuations in the ...
