Research Pillar 6 – Geophysical hydrodynamics

Numerical modeling of sediment transport in coastal regions
Gravity currents driven by concentration or density gradients
Flows over ripples, dunes or vegetation
Wave induced loads from solitary and regular waves on structures
Wave energy conversion and converters (WECs)
Developing of efficient numerical methodologies for high-fidelity numerical simulations of:
Thermally driven hydrodynamics with strong property variations
Sediment transport and bed morphodynamics
Extreme wave conditions and wave induced loads
