Physical model tests with the scale of 1:36 are carried out in the Near-Shore Wave Basin (NSWB) at Tainan Hydraulics Laboratory (THL) with the jacket-type offshore wind turbine foundation (jacket-type foundation) and the combination of hard or soft scour protection in the test area. Scouring around the jacket-type foundation exposed to wave and current was conducted in the NSWB with a mobile be...

Scour-induced sediment erosion poses a significant threat to the safety and longevity of infrastructure, including bridges, wind turbines, elevated buildings, coastal infrastructure. Despite well-known destructive consequences scour, accurate models that capture complexity its dynamics remain elusive, impeding development effective countermeasures. We provide comprehensive review existing liter...

Wireless MEMS sensors network has been widely used in many fields. In this paper the MEMS pressure sensor is integrated on a sensor board with Zigbee sensor network for real-time local bridge scour depth monitoring during a flood. The wireless MEMS pressure sensor scour monitoring system has been developed and tested in the laboratory. Local scour is one of the major factors for bridge failure....

Local scouring might result in the spanning of submarine cables, endangering their mechanical and electrical properties. In this contribution, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulation model is developed using FLOW-3D, process semi-exposed cables investigated. The effects sediment critical Shields number, density, ocean current velocity on local are discussed, variation rules ...
