Basic Research

Our basic research can be divided up into four general categories: rivers, environmental hydraulics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and sediment dynamics.  Below is a list of all the research topics that we have examined.

CFD

  • Bubble Plumes

    • Bubbly flows are encountered in many fields of engineering, associated with different spatial scales. At small scale, they are found Keep Reading…

  • CFD Bedforms

    • Current research relates to the sinking of cylinder sitting on the ocean bed. Code using FEM has been developed to Keep Reading…

  • River Morphodynamics

    • River morphodynamics has attracted many research efforts in the last decades. The problem has been attacked via experimental, theoretical and Keep Reading…

  • Turbulent Jets

    • Jets have been the subject of experimental, theoretical, and numerical works in the last 50 years. In particular, the literature Keep Reading…

Rivers

  • Pool-Riffles

    • As part of river restoration, the geomorphological, ecological, and engineering aspects must be considered. The river restoration facilitates the river Keep Reading…
