Scour reduction performance of multi-layer collars around a cylindrical monopile

Local scour around offshore wind monopiles can reduce foundation embedment and threaten long-term structural performance. This study experimentally investigates single-, double-, and triple-layer collar systems under steady clear-water currents, with emphasis on the effects of co...

Experimental investigation of scour evolution around a vertical-axis tidal turbine under combined wave-current action

Scour around vertical-axis tidal turbine (VATT) foundations can threaten the long-term stability of tidal-stream energy systems. This study experimentally investigates scour evolution around a VATT foundation under combined wave-current action, focusing on the effects of flow int...
