No need to perform expansive experimentations, but virtual simulations where it is possible to reproduce the event at full-scale and observe what is happening in each its point, at each time-frame, and with extreme accuracy. XC Engineering Srl can provide these investigations (or the software to do it) and has elect has its preferred tool the cfd software FLOW-3D: the actual best solution for free surface and transient phenomena.
Fields where this technology could be applied are:
