DESCRIPTION:Prof. Aldo Tamburrino\, Civil Engineer (U. of Chile)\, Ph.D. (
 U. of Minnesota). Currently is Associate Professor of the Department of Ci
 vil Engineering at the University of Chile\, where he teaches undergrad an
 d graduate level courses. His current research interests involves non-Newt
 onian fluids\, hiperconcentrated flows and granular flows.\nNowadays\, man
 y of the problems traditionally associated to hydraulic engineering do not
  deal with pure water (or fluid)\, they involve solid-liquid mixtures. Pre
 sence of solid particles in the mixture changes its rheological behaviour\
 , comporting differently than the carrier fluid. Some results of the resea
 rch carried out with pseudoplastic fluids will be presented during the tal
 k. It includes the critical shear stress for incipient motion of non-cohes
 ive particles in open channel flows\; the motion threshold condition under
  free surface oscillatory flows\; bedforms in pressurized ducts conducting
  power law fluids\; the atypical concentration distribution shown by solid
  particles when they are transported by a pseudoplastic fluid\; solitons\;
  numerical simulation of tailings dam breach\; etc. Although the studies h
 ave been mostly experimental\, they also include numerical and theoretical
  approaches.
