Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in Fortran
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a quite recent computational method developed to simulate fluid flows. Differently from other mathematical models of fluid dynamics, SPH describes the mean from the lagrangian point of view. This means that the fluid is divided … Continue reading

Water level Forecast for Venice Safeguard Project
I have already posted on Oceanographic Modelling. My primary interest is in coupling meteorological and hydrodynamical mathematical models to forecast storm surges and wave conditions in near-shore areas. Venetian MOSE project involves knowledge, among others, of tides in Venice Lagoon … Continue reading

Stereo measurement of water surface waves
Image Analysis techniques are used for retrieving water surface wave field spatially and temporally from CCD-images and CCD-image-sequences. The technique developed utilizes binocular stereogrammetry to recover topographic information from a sequence of synchronous, overlapping video images. The complete geometrical method … Continue reading

Oceanographic modelling
Waves forecasting is a quite recent issue in mathematical modelling and forecasting. Integrating meterological models (global and locals) to forecast wind and pressure maps, wave models can predict the waves heights, waves directions, and wave periods. An interesting contribution is … Continue reading
