Research Projects of the Chair of Hydraulic Engineering

Here you will find a selection of current research projects of the Chair of Hydraulic Engineering. Further information on physical model experiments can be found in the Hubert Engels Laboratory section. The page is currently being updated.

We would also like to draw your attention to the trilingual website (de/cz/eng) of the Interreg project "BIBOB - Cross-border beaver dam management in the context of climate change".
