Self-similarity and Reynolds number invariance in Froude modelling (2016)
Journal Article
Heller, V. (in press). Self-similarity and Reynolds number invariance in Froude modelling. Journal of Hydraulic Research, 55(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/00221686.2016.1250832

This review aims to improve the reliability of Froude modelling in fluid flows where both the Froude number and Reynolds number are a priori relevant. Two concepts may help to exclude significant Reynolds number scale effects under these conditions:... Read More about Self-similarity and Reynolds number invariance in Froude modelling.

Tsunami science and engineering (2016)
Book
(2016). V. Heller (Ed.), Tsunami science and engineering. MDPI AG

In 2013, I was approached by the editorial team of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering to act as guest editor of a Special Issue on tsunamis. I was very keen to take on this project given that recent tragic events such as the 2004 Indian Oc... Read More about Tsunami science and engineering.

Composite modelling of subaerial landslide-tsunamis in different water body geometries and novel insight into slide and wave kinematics (2016)
Journal Article
Heller, V., Bruggemann, M., Spinneken, J., & Rogers, B. (2016). Composite modelling of subaerial landslide-tsunamis in different water body geometries and novel insight into slide and wave kinematics. Coastal Engineering, 109(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2015.12.004

This article addresses subaerial landslide-tsunamis with a composite (experimental-numerical) modelling approach. A shortcoming of generic empirical equations used for hazard assessment is that they are commonly based on the two idealised water body...
