Turbulence in River and Maritime Hydraulics

Abstract

Understanding of the role of turbulence in controlling transport processes is paramount importance for the preservation and protection of aquatic ecosystems, the minimisation of deleterious consequences of anthropogenic activity and the successful sustainable development of river and maritime areas. In this context, the present Special Issue collects 15 papers which provide a representation of the present understanding of turbulent processes and their effects in river and maritime environments. The presented collection of papers is not exhaustive but it allows highlighting key priority areas and knowledge gaps in in this field of research.
