Journal Article
Kesseler, M., Heller, V., & Turnbull, B. (2018). A laboratory-numerical approach for modelling scale effects in dry granular slides. Landslides, 15(11), 2145–2159. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10346-018-1023-z

Granular slides are omnipresent in both natural and industrial contexts. Scale effects are changes in physical behaviour of a phenomenon at different geometric scales, such as between a laboratory experiment and a corresponding larger event observed...

Development and evaluation of poly(dimethylsiloxane) based composite coatings for icephobic applications (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, J., Wang, J., Mazzola, L., Memon, H., Barman, T., Turnbull, B., …Hou, X. (2018). Development and evaluation of poly(dimethylsiloxane) based composite coatings for icephobic applications. Surface and Coatings Technology, 349, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2018.06.066

Formation and accretion of ice on the leading edge surface of aircrafts wings may lead to disasters. The current de-icing system for aircraft will build up weight, increase energy consumption and add complexity to the aircraft systems. Development of...

Looking beyond the powder/dense flow avalanche dichotomy (2018)
Journal Article
Faug, T., Turnbull, B., & Gauer, P. (2018). Looking beyond the powder/dense flow avalanche dichotomy. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 123(6), https://doi.org/10.1002/2018JF004665

Köhler et al. (2018) deploy a high spatial and temporal resolution GEODAR radar system to reveal the inside of snow avalanches over the entire slope. They detect a rich variety of longitudinal and slope normal flow structures across a data set of 77... Read More about Looking beyond the powder/dense flow avalanche dichotomy.

Mixed ice accretion on aircraft wings (2018)
Journal Article
Janjua, Z. A., Turnbull, B., Hibberd, S., & Choi, K. (in press). Mixed ice accretion on aircraft wings. Physics of Fluids, 30(2), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5007301

Ice accretion is a problematic natural phenomenon that an effects a wide range of engineering applications including power cables, radio masts and wind turbines. Accretion on aircraft wings occurs when supercooled water droplets freeze instantaneousl... Read More about Mixed ice accretion on aircraft wings.
