Bryozoa, Cheilostomata: first records of two invasive species in Australia and the northerly range extension for a third [PDF]

Check List, 2012
Biofouling of international marine vessels is one of the most important mechanisms for the transfer of non-native-invasive species around the world. Bryozoan species are some of the commonest of these marine biofouling organisms found worldwide.

Monolithic Framework to Simulate Fluid‐Structure Interaction Problems Using Geometric Volume‐of‐Fluid Method

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) framework is developed using the geometric volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) interface capturing method and applied to assess largescale turbulent FSI interactions. The monolithic FSI framework is extensively validated, and despite the discontinuities across the interface, the FSI framework delivers stable and ...
