Typhoon track simulations in the North West Pacific: Informing a new wind map for Vietnam (2020)
Journal Article
Owen, J. S., Neves, L. C., Hargreaves, D. M., Franke, J., & Nguyen, C. H. (2021). Typhoon track simulations in the North West Pacific: Informing a new wind map for Vietnam. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 208, Article 104441. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2020.104441

This paper addresses the need to revise the current Vietnamese design wind map by proposing a new typhoon wind map for the country, based on Monte Carlo simulations of typhoon tracks in the North West Pacific basin. Using historical typhoon data from... Read More about Typhoon track simulations in the North West Pacific: Informing a new wind map for Vietnam.

Are we correctly measuring the rotational viscosity of heterogeneous bituminous binders? (2020)
Journal Article
Giancontieri, G., Hargreaves, D., & Lo Presti, D. (2020). Are we correctly measuring the rotational viscosity of heterogeneous bituminous binders?. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 21(Sup 1), S37-S56. https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2020.1724559

Modified bituminous binders allow asphalt technologists to design asphalt mixtures with superior performance. However, several recent studies highlighted that due to the complexity of these material, their characterisation can be challenging since co...

Reconciling Gaussian plume and Computational Fluid Dynamics models of particulate dispersion (2020)
Journal Article
Joseph, G. M. D., Hargreaves, D., & Lowndes, I. S. (2020). Reconciling Gaussian plume and Computational Fluid Dynamics models of particulate dispersion. Atmospheric Environment: X, 5, Article 100064. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aeaoa.2020.100064

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is increasingly used to model particulate dispersion in situations where Gaussian Dispersion models are inappropriate or inaccurate. However, there is evidence which indicates that many CFD models under-predict l... Read More about Reconciling Gaussian plume and Computational Fluid Dynamics models of particulate dispersion.
