Fish passage hydraulics
Join us as we’re “getting fishy with it” in our Australian Water School webinars covering fish passage considerations in hydraulic modelling, addressing 1D, 2D, and 3D approaches as well as regulatory considerations and some very cool applications.
Part 1 focussed on hydraulic modelling with some examples of constructed projects
Part 2 focussed on Australian species and includes some animations of 3D CFD models that have applicability around the world
Presenter details and links to presentation pdf files are available here for:
