River morphodynamics and its mathematical modelling

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research program combines the theoretical and experimental research of mechanisms of flow and sediment transport involved in the deformation of bed and banks of alluvial streams with the development of physically-based, high-accuracy numerical models for the simulation and prediction of river morphological changes. These changes may occur naturally or as a response to direct or indirect human river interventions. The research focuses on: 1- large-scale turbulence coherent structures and their morphological consequences; and 2- bed morphological changes and bank migration in meandering streams.
