ISEH VI. 6th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics

Following the success of the 1st Symposium held in Hong Kong in 1991, the International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH) has been established as a major event bringing together engineers and scientists working on a variety of problems related to the water environment. The field of Environmental Hydraulics has expanded considerably over the last two decades, because of the growing concern over water environmental issues associated with pollution and water balance problems on a regional and global scale. The 6th ISEH aims at addressing these challenges by drawing contributions describing original research and / or original applications of up - to - date theoretical, computational or experimental tools in the symposium topics:

• Fundamentals of Environmental Fluid Mechanics:
  • Environmental turbulence, mass transport, mixing and dispersion processes
  • Jets and plumes
  • Stratified flows
• Environmental Hydraulics of Inland Waters:
  • Lakes and reservoirs
  • Rivers and estuaries
  • Transboundary pollution
• Environmental Hydraulics of Coastal Waters:
  • Nearshore processes
  • Lagoons and coastal embayments
  • Sea outfalls
  • Oil slicks
• Environmental Hydraulics of Groundwater:
  • Groundwater pollution
  • Groundwater remediation
  • Saltwater intrusion
• Interface Processes:
  • Air - water interface
  • Sediment - surface water interactions
  • Soil - groundwater interactions
• Experimental Techniques
• Computational Techniques
• Field Measurements, Monitoring
• Urban Hydrosystems:
  • Pollution in urban networks
  • Hydrodynamics of treatment plant units
• Ecological Aspects
• Environmental Hydraulics and Global Climate Change

September 15, 2009 Deadline for submission of abstracts.
