Abstract :
[en] In an increasingly urbanized world, water systems must be designed and operated according to innovative standards in terms of climate adaptation, resource efficiency, sustainability and resilience. This grand challenge triggers unprecedented questions for hydro-environment research and engineering. Addressing these issues requires a deep understanding of basic processes in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, surface and groundwater flow, among others. This book unveils latest research achievements and innovations which were presented at the 4th European Congress of IAHR in Liege (Belgium). These new developments rely on state-of-the-art modelling technologies, supported by the exponentially growing availability of data and computation power. The book will serve as a reference for professionals and decision-makers involved in various water-related sectors, such as hydraulic engineering, fluvial hydraulics, coastal engineering, water resources management and many more.
