Small-size hydro-structure (circular cylinder, etc) in oscillatory flow field
The dynamics of a small size structure, such as circular cylinder, near sea-bottom can be treated as in an oscillatory flow field. By this assumption, the following work has been done. LES technique that I developed was employed. Different gap ratio and KC numbers were considered.
