Dynamics of Fluid Systems and Transformation Processes in Hydrosphere
Transport phenomena in mono– and multi–phase disperse systems. Behaviour of solid particles in liquid media, mutual interaction of suspended and carrying phases. Study of micellar structures, drag reduction, influence of singularities on flow in closed and open conduits. Flow of non–Newtonian fluids, modelling of flow characteristics. Behaviour of flocculated aggregates and properties of water treatment sludge. Dynamics of vortical structures, shear flow modelling. Monitoring, analysis, modelling and prediction of development of water regime resulting from non–stationary character of climatic and landscape factors and global changes. Transform processes in non–saturated zone and underground water, influence of transpiration on water and heat transfer in biosphere. Study of natural and anthropogenic influences on imbalancing and destabilisation of hydrological cycle and appearance of extreme hydrological phenomena. Complex modelling of water quality in a system catchment–reservoir.
