Understanding the impact of various hydraulic structures, such as coastal reservoirs and tidal range impoundments, has been one of the key challenges of hydro?environmental engineering in recent years. Over the last half-century, several proposals for ti...

Temperature is the main driver of bridge response. It is continuously applied and may have complex distributions across the bridge. Daily temperature loads force bridges to undergo deformations that are larger than or equal to peak-to-peak traffic loads....

On the southeastern coast of Brazil, the bays of Ilha Grande and Sepetiba are linked by the Ilha Grande Channel, where remarkably strong currents have been consistently observed. Tidal forces cannot explain the strength of these currents. Previous resear...

Helicopter and turboprop engines are susceptible to the ingestion of debris and other foreign objects, especially during take-off, landing, and hover. To avoid deleterious effects, filters such as Inlet Particle Separators (IPS) can be installed. However...

Storm surges due to severe weather events threaten low-land littoral areas by increasing the risk of seawater inundation of coastal floodplains. In this paper, we present recent developments of a numerical modelling system for coastal inundation induced ...

Percussionists use a multitude of objects and materials, mounted on their instruments, to achieve a satisfying sound texture. This is a tedious process as there are no guidelines suggesting how to manipulate a percussion instrument to adjust its perceptu...

River mouths are dynamic systems that can respond rapidly to both fluxes in fluvial water and sediment discharge and marine energy conditions, notably waves. On semi-arid wave-exposed coasts, the morphosedimentary behaviour of river mouths is particularl...
