Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for acoustic wave scattering problems (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Peake, M., Trevelyan, J., & Coates, G. (2013, July). Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for acoustic wave scattering problems. Presented at 9th UK Conference on Boundary Integral Methods, Aberdeen, UK

Isogeometric analysis is the concept of using the same functions that describe a geometry in computer-aided design to approximate unknown elds in numerical simulations. This has become a topic of considerable interest to the boundary integral methods... Read More about Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for acoustic wave scattering problems.

A framework for organisational operational response and strategic decision making for long term flood preparedness in urban areas (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coates, G., Hawe, G., McGuinness, M., Wright, N., Guan, D., Harries, T., McEwen, L., & Brebbia, C. (2013, December). A framework for organisational operational response and strategic decision making for long term flood preparedness in urban areas. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Disaster Management, A Coruña, Spain

Recent years have seen flooding emerge as a significant risk facing United Kingdom (UK) businesses. This paper presents an overview of a framework aimed at improving such organisations response to and preparedness for floods in urban areas, reducing...

Scheduling Response Operations under Transport Network Disruptions (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilson, D., Hawe, G., Coates, G., & Crouch, R. (2013, December). Scheduling Response Operations under Transport Network Disruptions. Presented at 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management, Baden-Baden, Germany

Modeling the complex decision problems faced in the coordination of disaster response as a scheduling problem to be solved using an optimization algorithm has the potential to deliver efficient and effective support to decision makers. However, much... Read More about Scheduling Response Operations under Transport Network Disruptions.

Comparison of CHIEF and Burton-Miller approaches in collocation Partition of Unity BEM for Helmholtz problems (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Diwan, G., Trevelyan, J., & Coates, G. (2013, July). Comparison of CHIEF and Burton-Miller approaches in collocation Partition of Unity BEM for Helmholtz problems. Presented at 9th UK Conference on Boundary Integral Methods, Aberdeen, UK

Use of plane wave basis for the numerical solutions of acoustic wave problems using element based methods has become an attractive approach for extending the allowable frequency range for simulations beyond that available using piecewise polynomial e...

Real time operation of μCHP systems using fuzzy logic (2012)
Journal Article
Shaneb, O., Taylor, P., & Coates, G. (2012). Real time operation of μCHP systems using fuzzy logic. Energy and Buildings, 55(1), 141-150. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2012.07.048

Micro Combined Heat and Power (μCHP) technologies are usually operated according to a predetermined conventional heat or electricity led operation strategy (HLOS, ELOS) [1]. μCHP systems can contribute to the transition to a low carbon economy throug...

Agent-based simulation for large-scale emergency response: a survey of usage and implementation (2012)
Journal Article
Hawe, G., Coates, G., Wilson, D., & Crouch, R. (2012). Agent-based simulation for large-scale emergency response: a survey of usage and implementation. ACM Computing Surveys, 45(1), Article 8. https://doi.org/10.1145/2379776.2379784

When attempting to determine how to respond optimally to a large-scale emergency, the ability to predict the consequences of certain courses of action in silico is of great utility. Agent-based simulations (ABSs) have become the de facto tool for thi... Read More about Agent-based simulation for large-scale emergency response: a survey of usage and implementation.

Novel basis functions for the partition of unity boundary element method for Helmholtz problems (2012)
Journal Article
Peake, M., Trevelyan, J., & Coates, G. (2012). Novel basis functions for the partition of unity boundary element method for Helmholtz problems. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 93(9), 905-918. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.4411

The BEM is a popular technique for wave scattering problems given its inherent ability to deal with infinite domains. In the last decade, the partition of unity BEM, in which the approximation space is enriched with a linear combination of plane wave...
