Areas of Expertise
Coastal pollution mitigation, floodplain delineation, and more
CNR is at the forefront of multidisciplinary expertise, spanning an extensive range of research areas. Our work extends from the intricate characterization of large-scale oil spills in oceanic environments, ensuring a profound understanding of ecological impacts and remediation strategies, to the meticulous management of urban stormwater systems, contributing to more sustainable, resilient cities.
Additionally, our teams are dedicated to conducting comprehensive assessments of water quality in river ecosystems, safeguarding the health of aquatic environments and the communities that rely on them.
Coastal pollution mitigation
Remediation of Oil Spills on Beaches
Salinity Intrusion, Seepage Face Studies, Waves Breaking Onshore
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is commonly used for the design of hydraulic systems and to explain complicated fluid patterns.
Floodplain Delineation
Investigated the hydrology and hydraulics of watersheds using the latest GIS and engineering programs to reduce flooding.
Geostatistics
A means of quantifying spatial variability of the hydraulic conductivity field.
Movement of chemicals in urban streams
One of many aspect of our research focuses on contaminant transport processes in urban streams.
Offshore pollution mitigation
Movement of Spilled Oil at Sea, Dispersants, Wave Tank are some of the projects under the CNR belt.
Stormwater Management
Today, a high concentration of suspended material is found in storm-water discharges, thereby polluting the environment.
Breaking waves
The droplets transport has been studied by combing the CFD framework with Lagrangian particle tracking approach
Remediation
Innovative remediation techniques
enhance biodegradation and restore ecosystems after oil spills and soil contamination.
