Special Issue on Experiments and Simulation Techniques for Large-Scale Coupled Disasters

The study of large-scale coupled disasters involves a range of disciplines using multiple methods. For safety scientists, coupled disasters, experimental equipment for large-scale disasters, multi-scale disaster experiments, disaster simulation techniques, the integration of big data and high-performance computation are all hot fields of study. This special issue aims to feature state-of-the-art and inventive research from different fields and industries displaying a variety of approaches.

Topics Covered:

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Mechanism analysis and experiment techniques of coupled disasters
• Dynamics of coupled disasters and human behaviour in disasters
• Innovative simulation techniques for coupled disasters
• Emerging techniques for coupled disaster research, such as big data and artificial intelligence
• Integrated interaction technologies of real-time data from live robots, experiment equipment and simulation systems
• Organisational, regulative and policy-making processes of large-scale coupled disasters
