Lattice Boltzmann simulation of free-surface temperature dispersion in shallow water flows. (2009)
Journal Article
Seaid, M., & Thömmes, G. (2009). Lattice Boltzmann simulation of free-surface temperature dispersion in shallow water flows. Advances in applied mathematics and mechanics, 1(3), 415-437

We develop a lattice Boltzmann method for modeling free-surface temperature dispersion in the shallow water flows. The governing equations are derived from the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with assumptions of shallow water flows including b...

Influence of Lode Angle Dependency on the Critical State for Rotational Plasticity (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W., Crouch, R., & Augarde, C. (2009, September). Influence of Lode Angle Dependency on the Critical State for Rotational Plasticity. Presented at Computational Plasticity X: Fundamentals and Applications (COMPLAS X), Barcelona, Spain

The critical state in soils represents the condition whereby unbounded distortions occur with no change in volume. Many constitutive models incorporate this idealised asymptotic state as a fundamental feature. It has been shown experimentally that bo...
