Fully-coupled hydroelastic modeling of a deformable wall in waves
Published in Coastal Engineering, 2023
The hydroelastic behavior of a vertical wall in periodic waves is investigated using a fully-coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid mechanics (CSM) model.

Two-dimensional simulations of large-scale violent breaking wave impacts on a flexible wall
Published in Coastal Engineering, 2023
The impacts of four distinctive types of violent breaking waves on a flexible wall at a large scale are investigated using a fully-coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid mechanics (CSM) model in the finite-volume framework.

The role of dynamic seepage response in sediment transport and tsunami-induced scour
Published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2025
In this study, we explicitly quantify the role and mechanics of seepage response in field-scale tsunami-induced bed mobility and scour through theoretical analyses and fully coupled hydrodynamic and morphological simulations.
