Turbulence in River and Maritime Hydraulics

 Michele Mossa is Professor of Hydraulics at the Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy). He is chief scientist of the Coastal Engineering Laboratory—LIC and a member of the board of directors of the National Consortium of Universities for Marine Sciences (CoNISMa) for the Polytechnic University of Bari. The main topics of his research are related to environmental and maritime hydraulics. Donatella Termini is Professor of Hydraulics at the University of Palermo (Italy). Her research activity mainly regards fluvial processes and water distribution network models. Her present research efforts include the prediction of river morphological evolution, both through experimental investigations and by the development of numerical simulation codes. Peter A. Davies is Professor of Fluid Dynamics at the University of Dundee (UK), where he works in environmental and geophysical fluid mechanics, including buoyancy-driven flows, rotating flows, turbulent mixing, internal waves, and wastewater disposal.
