Analytical and Numerical Study of Novel Scaling Laws for Air-Water Flows (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Catucci, D., Briganti, R., & Heller, V. (2022). Analytical and Numerical Study of Novel Scaling Laws for Air-Water Flows. In Proceedings of the 39th IAHR World Congress (Granada, 2022) (4551-4560). https://doi.org/10.3850/IAHR-39WC252171192022202

Physical modelling in the laboratory is widely used for hydraulic investigations. Froude similarity results in significant scale effects in small models for flows involving air-entrainment. Such air-water flows are essential for many hydraulic applic... Read More about Analytical and Numerical Study of Novel Scaling Laws for Air-Water Flows.

MESH-IN: A MESHed INlet offline coupling method for 3-D extreme hydrodynamic events in DualSPHysics (2022)
Journal Article
Ruffini, G., Domínguez, J. M., Briganti, R., Altomare, C., Stolle, J., Crespo, A. J., …De Girolamo, P. (2023). MESH-IN: A MESHed INlet offline coupling method for 3-D extreme hydrodynamic events in DualSPHysics. Ocean Engineering, 268, Article 113400. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2022.113400

Extreme hydrodynamic events, such as those driven by tsunamis, have a significant impact on coastal environments. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics computational method gained popularity in modelling these phenomena. However, high resolution is nee...

Wave overtopping at near-vertical seawalls: Influence of foreshore evolution during storms (2022)
Journal Article
Briganti, R., Musumeci, R. E., van der Meerc, J., Romanoe, A., Stancanelli, L. M., Kudella, M., …Schimmels, S. (2022). Wave overtopping at near-vertical seawalls: Influence of foreshore evolution during storms. Ocean Engineering, 261, Article 112024. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2022.112024

This work presents the results of an investigation on how wave overtopping at a near-vertical seawall at the back of a sandy foreshore is influenced by sequences of erosive storms. The experiments were carried out in the Large Wave Flume (GWK) at Lei... Read More about Wave overtopping at near-vertical seawalls: Influence of foreshore evolution during storms.
