Numerical investigation of cavity dynamics and cavitation-induced vibrations of a flexible hydrofoil [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Fluid Engineering
This work investigates the cavitation and fluid–structure interaction characteristics of a flexible NACA0015 hydrofoil. The simulation incorporates the Zwart–Gerber–Belamri cavitation model and two-way fluid–structure interactions.

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

open access: yesEuropean Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Numerical study on the steady suction active flow control of hydrofoil in the profile of the blended-wing-body underwater glider

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2021
The hydrodynamic performance of the blended-wing-body underwater glider can be improved by opening a hole on the surface and applying the steady suction active flow control. In order to explore the influence law and mechanism of the steady suction active

Cavitation aggressiveness on a hydrofoil [PDF]

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
To improve the analyses of the cavitation erosion phenomena, cavitating flows around an instrumented hydrofoil were studied experimentally and numerically. The experiments allowed the assessment of cavitation aggressiveness by measurements from PVDF pressure sensors.

A Theory for Hydrofoils of Finite Span [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics and Physics, 1954
The program of this report is as follows: After a brief survey of the available theoretical and experimental information on the characteristics of hydrofoils, the theory for a hydrofoil of finite span will be formulated. The liquid medium is assumed to be incompressible and nonviscous and of infinite depth.
