DESCRIPTION:Dr Rob Uittenbogaard\, expert of Hydrodynamics\, physics turbu
 lence modelling\, Deltares\, NL - visiting guest to APHYS\nAbstract:\nDelt
 ares is an independent\, institute for applied research in the field of wa
 ter\, subsurface and infrastructure. Throughout the world\, we work on sma
 rt solutions\, innovations and applications for people\, environment and s
 ociety. Our main focus is on deltas\, coastal regions and river basins. De
 ltares employs over 800 people with an annual turnover of 100 M€ and bas
 ed in Delft and Utrecht in The Netherlands.\nFrom March 1st until July 1st
  I am hosted by prof. Wüest (Physics Aquatic Systems Lab) and I will intr
 oduce my institute Deltares as well as its Research Themes. In addition\, 
 I will present examples involving my expertise such as the change in verti
 cal profiles of current by non-breaking surface waves\, the turbulent flow
  over and through rigid and flexible vegetation\, sediment avalanches\, th
 e possible origin of scum formation of microcystis cyanobatercia (blue-gre
 en algae) and their vertical mobility.Short biography:\nRob Uittenbogaard 
 (62) is senior specialist in hydrodynamics and related physics in environm
 ental water as well as member of Deltares’ Science Council. His research
  includes observations and numerical simulations of turbulence and interna
 l waves in density-stratified water\, salt intrusion in estuaries and ship
  locks\, mixing and transport in thermally-stratified lakes\, surface-wave
 /current interaction\, sediment transport\, flow through rigid and flexibl
 e vegetation\, 3D numerical simulations including Horizontal Large Eddy Si
 mulation in coastal seas\, lakes\, reservoirs\,  rivers and harbours. In 
 most of his research he supported and supervised M.Sc. and Ph.D. Thesis st
 udents at technology universities in Delft\, Twente\, Eindhoven (Netherlan
 ds) and Singapore (NUS). In addition he collaborated with Institute for La
 ke Research (Bodensee\, Germany)\, Centre for Water Research (Perth\, Aust
 ralia) and EdF Research & Development (Chatou\, France).
