Large deformation problems arising from deep excavation in silt strata: A case study in Shenzhen, China (2024)
Journal Article
Ou, X., Liao, W., Zheng, X., Yang, G., & Osman, A. S. (in press). Large deformation problems arising from deep excavation in silt strata: A case study in Shenzhen, China. Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 17(4), 2576-2589. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrmge.2024.04.037

Deep excavations in silt strata can lead to large deformation problems, posing risks to both the excavation and adjacent structures. This study combines field monitoring with numerical simulation to investigate the underlying mechanisms and key aspec...

REMIX SPH – improving mixing in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations using a generalised, material-independent approach (2025)
Journal Article
Sandnes, T. D., Eke, V. R., Kegerreis, J. A., Massey, R. J., Ruiz-Bonilla, S., Schaller, M., & Teodoro, L. F. (in press). REMIX SPH – improving mixing in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations using a generalised, material-independent approach. Journal of Computational Physics, 532, Article 113907. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2025.113907

We present REMIX, a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme designed to alleviate effects that typically suppress mixing and instability growth at density discontinuities in SPH simulations. We approach this problem by directly targeting sources...

Journal Article
Meach, R., Horwell, C. J., & de Terte, I. (2025). ‘All Four Engines Have Failed’: A qualitative study of the health impacts, reactions and behaviours of passengers and crew onboard flight BA009 which flew through a volcanic ash cloud in 1982. International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 124, Article 105558. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2025.105558

This study investigated the experiences, health impacts and behaviours of passengers and crew onboard British Airways flight BA009 which flew through a volcanic ash cloud from Mount Galunggung, Indonesia, in 1982. In addition to secondary data source...
