Analytical and Numerical Study of Novel Scaling Laws for Air-Water Flows (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Catucci, D., Briganti, R., & Heller, V. (2022). Analytical and Numerical Study of Novel Scaling Laws for Air-Water Flows. In Proceedings of the 39th IAHR World Congress (Granada, 2022) (4551-4560). https://doi.org/10.3850/IAHR-39WC252171192022202

Physical modelling in the laboratory is widely used for hydraulic investigations. Froude similarity results in significant scale effects in small models for flows involving air-entrainment. Such air-water flows are essential for many hydraulic applic... Read More about Analytical and Numerical Study of Novel Scaling Laws for Air-Water Flows.

New Physical Insight into Landslide-Tsunamis Using Non-Linear Wave Decomposition (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Constance, B., & Heller, V. (2022). New Physical Insight into Landslide-Tsunamis Using Non-Linear Wave Decomposition. In Proceedings of the 39th IAHR World Congress (Granada, 2022) (6234-6243). https://doi.org/10.3850/IAHR-39WC2521711920221094

Potentially devastating tsunamis are generated by landslides impacting into water bodies. Such subaerial landslide-tsunamis are typically predicted with empirical equations, which, however, fail to appropriately capture some of the underlying physics...

Landslide-tsunamis, also called impulse waves, are generated by mass movements, such as landslides, rock falls or iceberg calving, impacting into a water body. Past cases such as the Vajont landslide-tsunami event, which caused approximately 2000 cas...

Numerical Investigation of Impulse Waves Impacting on Dams (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Attili, T., Heller, V., & Triantafyllou, S. (2022). Numerical Investigation of Impulse Waves Impacting on Dams. In Proceedings of the 39th IAHR World Congress (Granada, 2022) (2222-2229). https://doi.org/10.3850/IAHR-39WC252171192022107

Impulse waves are generated by landslides, rockfalls and iceberg calving in water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs. These waves represent a persistent danger for dams, e.g. in the 1963 Vajont disaster an impulse wave impacted and overtopped the Va...
