Numerical modelling of intra-wave sediment transport on sandy beaches using a non-hydrostatic, wave-resolving model (2020)
Journal Article
Mancini, G., Briganti, R., McCall, R., Dodd, N., & Zhu, F. (2021). Numerical modelling of intra-wave sediment transport on sandy beaches using a non-hydrostatic, wave-resolving model. Ocean Dynamics, 71(1), 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10236-020-01416-x

The mutual feedback between the swash zone and the surf zone is known to affect large-scale morphodynamic processes such as breaker bar migration on sandy beaches. To fully resolve this feedback in a process-based manner, the morphodynamics in the sw...

Journal Article
Aboulatta, W., Dodd, N., Briganti, R., Kasem, T. H. M. A., & Zaki, M. A. F. (2021). Modeling swash zone hydrodynamics using discontinuous galerkin finite-element method. Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 147(2), Article 04020051. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29WW.1943-5460.0000618

A two-dimensional numerical model for the solution of the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSWEs) using the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) is presented. A new adaptation of the thin-film approach is developed for the wetting/d... Read More about Modeling swash zone hydrodynamics using discontinuous galerkin finite-element method.

Numerical modelling of tsunamis generated by iceberg calving validated with large-scale laboratory experiments (2020)
Journal Article
Chen, F., Heller, V., & Briganti, R. (2020). Numerical modelling of tsunamis generated by iceberg calving validated with large-scale laboratory experiments. Advances in Water Resources, 142, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2020.103647

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd When calving icebergs interact with water, waves of tens of meters in height, so-called iceberg-tsunamis (IBTs), may be generated. Recent examples include an IBT which reached an amplitude of 45 to 50 m in Eqip Sermia, Greenland,...
