Field measurements of surface waves using a 5-beam ADCP (2016)
Journal Article
Bouferrouk, A., Saulnier, J. B., Smith, G. H., & Johanning, L. (2016). Field measurements of surface waves using a 5-beam ADCP. Ocean Engineering, 112, 173-184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2015.12.025

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. This study examines the performance of an improved 5-beam ADCP, with a vertical beam, when deployed to measure non-directional waves in waters of 40 m depth. To assess the performance, the ADCP is compared wi... Read More about Field measurements of surface waves using a 5-beam ADCP.

An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains (2009)
Journal Article
Sterling, M., Baker, C., Bouferrouk, A., ONeil, H., Wood, S., & Crosbie, E. (2009). An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 97(11-12), 512-522. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2009.07.009

Increasing train speeds combined with the predicted reduction in the weight of new trains ensure that the effect of crosswinds on train stability is of continued interest to the rail industry. Changes in the approaching wind velocity can in turn lead... Read More about An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains.

Tikhonov regularisation in discrete vortex methods (2005)
Journal Article
Chernyshenko, S. I., & Bouferrouk, A. (2005). Tikhonov regularisation in discrete vortex methods. Computers and Fluids, 34(2), 275-281. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2004.05.003

In this study we propose the Tikhonov regularisation technique as a useful tool in discrete (blob) vortex methods (DVM). The effectiveness of Tikhonov technique is illustrated for the case of a specific blob vortex method, although the idea may be ap... Read More about Tikhonov regularisation in discrete vortex methods.
