Characterization and properties of breakwater structures modelled by a physics engine

Author: Greben, JM ; Gledhill, Irvy MA ; Cooper, Antony K ; De Villiers, R Date: Jan 2010 The authors examine the question of stability of breakwater structures using the simulation software PhysX. This “physics engine” can be used to construct various packings of breakwater elements, each of which can be used to analyze the damage ... Read more
Experimental investigation into the unsteady effects on non-axisymmetric turbine endwall contouring

Author: Dunn, Dwain I ; Snedden, Glen C ; Von Backström, TW Date: Jan 2010 Turbine manufacturers are striving to develop turbines that are more efficient. One area of focus has been the control of secondary flows through the use of non-axisymmetric endwalls. The majority of development has been performed in cascades ... Read more
Model to predict dynamic performance of a tractor semi-trailer car-carrier

Author: Deiss, JA ; Berman, Robert J ; Kienhofer, F Date: Sep 2018 A performance-based standards (PBS) framework evaluates actual on-road performance of a vehicle, allowing the length and mass of a vehicle to exceed prescriptive legislation, without compromising on vehicle safety and dynamic stability. This ... Read more
Velocity flow field and water level measurements in shoaling and breaking water waves

Author: Mukaro, R ; Govender, K ; Gledhill, Irvy MA ; Kokwe, NL Date: Jan 2010 In this paper we report on the laboratory investigations of breaking water waves. Measurements of the water levels and instantaneous fluid velocities were conducted in water waves breaking on a sloping beach within a glass flume. Instantaneous ... Read more
