Scaling approaches and scale effects in wave–flexible structure interaction (2023)
Journal Article
Attili, T., Heller, V., & Triantafyllou, S. (2023). Scaling approaches and scale effects in wave–flexible structure interaction. Journal of Fluids and Structures, 123, Article 103987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2023.103987

Laboratory models are important for research, to inform design solutions and to calibrate and validate numerical models. Unfortunately, model-prototype similarity is often difficult to achieve in small models, resulting in scale effects. For Wave–Fle...

A critical review about generic subaerial landslide-tsunami experiments and options for a needed step change (2023)
Journal Article
Heller, V., & Ruffini, G. (2023). A critical review about generic subaerial landslide-tsunami experiments and options for a needed step change. Earth-Science Reviews, 242, Article 104459. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2023.104459

Subaerial landslide-tsunamis (SLTs) are generated by mass movements such as landslides, rockfalls, glacier calving and snow avalanches impacting into lakes, reservoirs, fjords and the sea. Past SLTs reached runup heights of up to 524 m and are respon... Read More about A critical review about generic subaerial landslide-tsunami experiments and options for a needed step change.

Wave impact on rigid and flexible plates (2023)
Journal Article
Attili, T., Heller, V., & Triantafyllou, S. (2023). Wave impact on rigid and flexible plates. Coastal Engineering, 182, Article 104302. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2023.104302

Wave impact on offshore and coastal structures, such as oil and gas rigs, offshore wind turbine platforms, breakwaters, flood protection systems and wave energy converters, involve complex wave-structure interactions. These interactions are particula... Read More about Wave impact on rigid and flexible plates.

Numerical validation of novel scaling laws for air–water flows including compressibility and heat transfer (2023)
Journal Article
Catucci, D., Briganti, R., & Heller, V. (2023). Numerical validation of novel scaling laws for air–water flows including compressibility and heat transfer. Journal of Hydraulic Research, 61(4), 517-531. https://doi.org/10.1080/00221686.2023.2225462

Air–water flows are among the most important flow types in hydraulic engineering. Their experimental modelling at reduced size using Froude scaling laws introduces scale effects. This study introduces novel scaling laws for compressible air–water flo... Read More about Numerical validation of novel scaling laws for air–water flows including compressibility and heat transfer.
