Numerical modelling of underwater sand cutting process

To realize sustainable development, offshore wind energy has been a highly valuable solution to meet the demand for renewable energy. Accompanied with the construction of the offshore wind turbines, cable casting and the following cable trenching process in the underwater condition are necessarily required. The research on the underwater sand...

CFD modeling for moving jet penetrating cohesive soil

In dredging operation, the high-pressure water jet is widely used for the excavation of soil. To study the jetting process and optimize the dredging devices, the moving vertical water jet penetrating cohesive soil experiments were carried out by Nobel (2013). However, in terms of the design optimization for the dredging...
