Impact of different types of coastal defenses on overtopping and flooding

Demonstration in a 2D physical model (wave flume) of how different types of coastal defenses affect wave overtopping and flood risk. This video compares the performance of vertical and recurved breakwaters, stepped and sloped revetments, rock armor, and submerged breakwaters.

Impact of different structures on the flow in rivers and canals

Test in physical model of the effect of different engineering structures such as landfills, bridges, culverts and debris filters, on the flow in rivers and canals.

Beach: river of sand

Video explaining how sandy beaches are formed and how they are affected by nature and man-made structures.

Turbulence

Explanation of turbulence, the characteristics of turbulent (and laminar) flows, and its importance in mixing processes, presented by The National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films.

How high is the sea level? - What is Sea Level and How is it Determined?

A discussion of sea level, what it is and how it is determined, considering the constant changes due to waves and tides.

Rotational and Irrotational Flows

Explanation of the behavior of rotational and irrotational flows from the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR).

Flow visualization

Experimental Methods for Flow Visualization and Characterization, presented by The National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films.

Ocean currents

Video explaining ocean currents, their circulation and their effects on climate.

Physics of ocean waves

Explanation of the formation of waves, and the propagation and transformation processes that affect them.

Rivers: the geological work of surface runoff

Video illustrating the relationship of rivers and other forms of surface runoff with sediment transport, hydraulic erosion and the geomorphological changes that they are capable to make.
