Our Areas of Research

The WISE research group performs cutting-edge research in the areas of smart and resilient flood control, mitigation of violent geysers (air-water flows), optimal reservoir operation under uncertainty, sustainable stormwater management, computational hydraulics (CFD) and physical modeling of hydraulic structures. Videos of some of our representative work on each of these areas are shown below. For more information on each of these areas, please select the respective links below.
