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.

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...
