Wave Mechanics in Constructed Oyster Reefs and the Design of Nature-Based Coastal Adaptation by Brice, James Vincent

“…Realizing the promise of nature-based coastal adaptation means building physical, ecological and social infrastructure simultaneously, requiring a design-research methodology that combines an understanding of biological design constraints, physical analysis and community engagement. Physical and numerical wave flume experiments were conducted to investigate mechanisms of wave energy loss in oyster shell gabion-type CORs that place oyster biology in the foreground— particularly, the influence of across-shore width, spacing and structure porosity on wave attenuation under non-breaking wave conditions. …”

Three-dimensional flow structures and vorticity control in fish-like swimming by Zhu, Q., Wolfgang, M.J., Yue, D.K.P., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…We employ a three-dimensional, nonlinear inviscid numerical method, in conjunction with experimental data from live fish and from a fish-like robotic mechanism, to establish the three-dimensional features of the flow around a fish-like body swimming in a straight line, and to identify the principal mechanisms of vorticity control employed in fish-like swimming. …”
