  • Hydraulic and hydro-mechanical analysis of hydraulic structures (steady or unsteady flows and transient phenomena, vibration and stability problems)
  • Planning and design of hydroelectric and irrigation schemes including dams and reservoirs; hydropower design under uncertainty
  • High speed flows on spillways and in bottom outlets; effects of aeration and cavitation; formation of shock waves; pressure fluctuations
  • Planning and design of high head pressure conduits (penstocks, steel liners, shafts and tunnels, caverns)
  • Supervision and interpretation of geotechnical site investigations for pressure tunnels and shaft
  • Supervision and interpretation of hydraulic model tests
