Biomechanical analyses point to dense collagen fibre architecture in an Ediacaran frond

Ediacaran macrofossils record the earliest large and complex organisms on Earth. Despite extensive study, fundamental aspects of their internal anatomy and tissue composition remain poorly known, limiting understanding of how these organisms were constructed and functioned, as we...

A lattice Boltzmann method for floating oscillating water column WECs

In this study, a hierarchical multi-fidelity modelling framework, combining the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and potential-flow approach, is developed to investigate the two-dimensional floating oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters (WEC). The framework is built...
