Fluid-structure interactions of hyperelastic geomembranes

This project focuses on geomembrane systems in pressure waterways. It aims at assessing the dynamic response of hyperelastic geomembranes when subject to fluid-structure interactions.

SEDMIX: Controlled routing of fine sediment from storage reservoirs with a hydrodynamic mixing device

This project aims to deploy, test, operate and optimize an innovative device (called SEDMIX), which uses thrusters to keep fine sediments near the dam in suspension and allows them to be routed downstream.
