Modelling the Dynamics of Turbulent Floods

Consider the dynamics of turbulent flow in rivers, estuaries and floods. Based on the widely used k-ǫ model for turbulence, we use the techniques of centre manifold theory to derive dynamical models for the evolution of the water depth and of vertically averaged flow velocity and turbulent parameters. This new model for the shallow water dynamics of turbulent flow: resolves the vertical structu...

Macroscopic modelling and robust control of bi-modal multi-region urban road networks

The paper concerns the integration of a bi-modal Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) modelling for mixed traffic in a robust control framework for congested singleand multi-region urban networks. The bi-modal MFD relates the accumulation of cars and buses and the outflow (or circulating flow) in homogeneous (both in the spatial distribution of congestion and the spatial mode mixture) bi-modal...
