Sensitivity of shallow mixing layers to upstream turbulence

Numerical modeling of hydrodynamic circulation in Lake Taihu

This study is aiming to improve the understanding of hydrodynamic circulation in large shallow lakes. The Lake Taihu, the third largest lake in east China, is picked up as the study area for three reasons. The basin of Lake Taihu is considered as the most populated and developed area as a backyard of Shanghai. Lake Taihu is a typical shallow...

Interaction between wave hydrodynamics and flexible vegetation

Aquatic vegetation attenuates local currents, dampens wave energy and promotes sedimentation. Its function as shoreline defence has gained strong interest in the recent years, since it may offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions to coastal protection problems. Predictions of wave dissipation by macrophytes require understanding of the...
