Abstract:
Deltares is an independent, institute for applied research in the field of water, subsurface and infrastructure. Throughout the world, we work on smart solutions, innovations and applications for people, environment and society. Our main focus is on deltas, coastal regions and river basins. Deltares employs over 800 people with an annual turnover of 100 M€ and based in Delft and Utrecht in The Netherlands.
From March 1st until July 1st I am hosted by prof. Wüest (Physics Aquatic Systems Lab) and I will introduce my institute Deltares as well as its Research Themes. In addition, I will present examples involving my expertise such as the change in vertical profiles of current by non-breaking surface waves, the turbulent flow over and through rigid and flexible vegetation, sediment avalanches, the possible origin of scum formation of microcystis cyanobatercia (blue-green algae) and their vertical mobility.
Short biography:
Rob Uittenbogaard (62) is senior specialist in hydrodynamics and related physics in environmental water as well as member of Deltares’ Science Council. His research includes observations and numerical simulations of turbulence and internal 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 flexible vegetation, 3D numerical simulations including Horizontal Large Eddy Simulation in coastal seas, lakes, reservoirs, rivers and harbours. In most of his research he supported and supervised M.Sc. and Ph.D. Thesis students at technology universities in Delft, Twente, Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Singapore (NUS). In addition he collaborated with Institute for Lake Research (Bodensee, Germany), Centre for Water Research (Perth, Australia) and EdF Research & Development (Chatou, France).
