Numerisk modellering av sediment transport i laboratoriet under komplekse strømningsforhold
Nils Rüther
The work will be done within the framework of HydroCen within the workpackage 1 and the working task 1.3 sediment handling. We deal with all kind of innovative solutions to handle sediment loads at hydro power plants by means of physical, numerical models as well as with field investigations.
Your task will be to apply either of this methods in order to bring forward new solution that will help provide a better toll for the planning and operation of hydro power plants exposed to high sediment yield. The pictures below are exampls of what could be investigated. The work will be conducted in close supervison of the PhD student in that project.
