What's On at UWA

A very large and ever growing quantity of human knowledge is stored as unstructured electronic text. This is the reality of knowledge workers in corporations and governments, of scientists and engineers in universities and research centers and of all of us in our everyday life as can be illustrated (...)

Conventional pipeline design assesses hydrodynamic stability of offshore pipelines without taking into account sediment transport occurring around the pipeline (e.g. DNV-RP-F109). There are growing concerns that such a design approach is flawed (Palmer 1996). It is evident that the seabed that (...)
