Our group research interests includes the study of unsteady, multiphase flow phenomena.
In terms of urban water systems that includes air-water interactions in closed pipes, urban geysering, air pockets in pipelines and stormwater tunnels, among others.
Other two-phase flows, including gravity currents, turbidity currents, sediment settling and resuspension are in our scope of interest as well. Our investigations also include numerical modeling, laboratorial and field monitoring of headwater watershed hydrology, stormwater hydraulics and optimization of water systems.
Research Areas:
- Description of extreme flow events in hydraulic systems
- Modeling of the transition between pressurized and free surface flows
- Watershed hydrology monitoring and modeling
- Sediment-laden multiphase flows representation in construction site runoff
- Stormwater modeling and optimization
- Study of Gravity Currents
