The need for observation, analysis and control of fluvial processes has thus increased dramatically. The discipline of Fluvial Hydraulics is more than ever solicited to guide engineering works, evaluate environmental impacts, and mitigate hazards: new modelling tools emerge from advances in phenomenological understanding, computational methods and measurement techniques.
Hydrodynamic and sediment transport phenomena are addressed in the main conference topics, for which theoretical accomplishments, numerical developments, experimental investigations and field studies are welcomed.
