The Hydromechanics and Environmental Engineering Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Greece, supports research and teaching in the areas of Environmental fluid mechanics, deterministic and stochastic modeling of environmental time series, impact of regional and global climate change on water resources, ecosystems modeling, The laboratory is funded by the Greek State, European Union and local government agencies and it is founding member of the research and education network HYDROMEDON.
Research is conducted in the following areas:
Environmental Fluid Mechanics: 1) Diffusion and dispersion processes in lakes, reservoirs, aquifers, 2) Groundwater modeling and simulation, 3) Biofilms.
Water Resources Management and Engineering : 1) Modeling, Protection and Restoration of aquatic systems, 2) Design, analysis and retrofitting of water supply networks, 3)Linear and nonlinear modeling of hydro-meteorological time series, 4) Compression and fusion of field, plant and laboratory physico-chemical data.
Physics of Fluids :1) multi-scale methods in fluids, extending from nano- to meso- to macro-simulations and the calculation of fluid properties based on atomistic models, 2) laminar-to-turbulence transition and low-order models of flow systems, 3) turbulence and turbulence modelling.
We also have strong relationship and cooperation with local authorities and municipalities in the region of Thessaly (a mostly rural region) that face problems of sudden and destructive climatic events and the associated problems of floods and hydrogeological instability, pollution and corrosion.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone interested in a partnership. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss any further details.
