Online School on Lateral Cavity
Online School on Lateral Cavity
Hybrid and multi Lab study of the flow patterns in a Lateral Cavity
February - March 2024
This online course is organised by an IAHR cross committees action group – Committees on Fluid Mechanics, Experimental Methods and Instrumentation and Fluvial Hydraulics.
This is an opportunity to join a team dedicated to enhance knowledge on open-channel fluid mechanics, use of advanced tools, instrumentation and numerical modelling, and analysing results in depth.
Interested participants should fill in the following registration form including a short paragraph explaining their interest in the online school and their option (1, 2 or 3), and upload a 1 page CV.
Applications have to be sent before 5 January 2024 and candidates will be selected by 15 January 2024.
