This paper presents a bottom boundary layer model for the unsteady and non-uniform flow in the swash zone, by extending the momentum integral method so as to include spatial gradients. The developed model is further incorporated into a hydrodynamic m... Read More about A logarithmic bottom boundary layer model for the unsteady and non-uniform swash flow.

Numerical validation of novel scaling laws for air entrainment in water (2021)
Journal Article
Catucci, D., Briganti, R., & Heller, V. (2021). Numerical validation of novel scaling laws for air entrainment in water. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 477(2255), Article 20210339. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2021.0339

The Froude scaling laws have been used to model a wide range of water flows at reduced size for almost a century. In such Froude scale models, significant scale effects for air-water flows (e.g. hydraulic jumps or wave breaking) are typically observe...

Analysis of annual maxima series of significant wave height and peak period in the Mediterranean Sea. Coastal Engineering, 167, Article 103896. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2021.103896

Non-stationary Extreme Value Analysis (NEVA) allows to determine the probability of exceedance of extreme sea states taking into account trends in the time series of data at hand. In this work, we analyse the reliability of NEVA of significant wave h... Read More about Non-stationary extreme value analysis of sea states based on linear trends.

Numerical characterisation and efficient prediction of landslide-tsunami propagation over a wide range of idealised bathymetries (2021)
Journal Article
Ruffini, G., Heller, V., & Briganti, R. (2021). Numerical characterisation and efficient prediction of landslide-tsunami propagation over a wide range of idealised bathymetries. Coastal Engineering, 167, Article 103854. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2021.103854

Landslide-tsunamis are generated by masses, such as landslides or icebergs, impacting into water bodies. Such tsunamis resulted in major catastrophes in the recent past. Generic research into landslide-tsunamis has widely been conducted in idealised...
