U.S. - European Union Planning Visit: Investigation of Surface/Subsurface Exchange Processes in Meandering Streams

9813415 Packman这个为期一年的奖项将支持一个规划访问，以发展研究人员在三个国家的地表/地下交换过程中蜿蜒流之间的合作。 PI将参观位于H.R.的独特蜿蜒通道设施。沃林福德水力实验室观察两名欧洲研究人员进行的实验，他们是英国谢菲尔德大学的伊恩·盖默和意大利帕多瓦大学的安德烈·马里恩。 此次访问的目的是启动一项合作，利用欧洲和美国在三维自然形成的渠道中的横向混合和分散以及河流和河床之间的床形驱动胶体交换以及额外的河流/地下交换过程及其对污染物传输的影响方面的专业知识。

9813415PackmanThis one-year award will support a planning visit to develop a collaboration between researchers in three countries on surface/subsurface exchange processes in meandering streams. The PI will visit the unique meandering channel facility at the H.R. Wallingford Hydraulics Laboratory to observe the experiments conducted by the two European investigators, Ian Guymer of Sheffield University in the United Kingdom, and Andrea Marion of the University of Padua in Italy. The objective of the visit will be the initiation of a collaboration that takes advantage of the European and US expertise in lateral mixing and dispersion in three-dimensional, naturally-formed channels and bedform-driven colloid exchange between streams and stream beds and additional stream/subsurface exchange processes and their impact on contaminant transport.
