| Abstract: | The Hydraulics in Environmental and Civil Engineering research group (HECE) was created in 1937. The activities of the group concern experimental modelling as well as the development of innovative composite or hybrid modelling approaches applied to hydraulics in environmental and civil engineering. They are related to topics as varied as the design of hydraulic structures (spillways, dams, locks), sediment transport, flood risk management and prevention or hydropower and its impacts on the aquatic fauna for instance.
The marine component is related to the influence of hydraulic structures (including the design of fish passages) on the migrations of diadromous species, such as the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). |
