Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 3868-3892, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1573-1585, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...

Bath Vibration During Open Eye Formation in a Physical Model of a Steelmaking Ladle

open access: yessteel research international, Volume 97, Issue 9, Page 4684-4713, September 2026.
Using a physical model, this study shows that vibration measurements reliably predict open eye size in steelmaking ladles, offering a practical alternative to visual monitoring. Vessel vibrations stabilize faster than the open eye, except at high frequencies near the bottom.

A review of numerical methods for flow and transport modeling in the vadose zone

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Accurate modeling of subsurface flow and transport processes in the vadose zone, governed by the Richards equation and advection‐dispersion equation, respectively, poses major numerical challenges due to the strong nonlinearity of the governing partial differential equations, spatial heterogeneity and anisotropy of the media parameters, and ...

Impacts of Cross‐Shore Winds, Waves, and Sand Ridges on Inner Shelf Circulation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Processes dominant on depth‐averaged subtidal flows at the surf zone and the inner shelf with sand ridges. The yellow layer indicates the sandy seafloor bathymetry; the oscillating dashed lines at the inner shelf indicates the sand ridges. Abstract Understanding of circulation on inner continental shelves needs to be advanced to accurately predict the ...
