Environmental flows
We investigate coastal, estuarine and fluvial processes, including mixing, transport and the effects of engineered interventions.
Edinburgh Hydro-computation Group¶
School of Engineering · University of Edinburgh
Computing for water, coasts and clean energy.
We develop and apply numerical models to understand environmental flows, support resilient infrastructure and enable responsible marine-energy development.
About the group
We bring together fluid mechanics, numerical modelling and data-driven methods for practical hydro-environmental challenges. Our work spans fundamental research, open computational tools and collaborative projects with industry, government and communities.
Marine renewable energy
We assess resource, performance and environmental interactions to help tidal-energy technologies develop responsibly.
Open hydro-computation
We build transparent, reproducible modelling workflows that connect scientific methods with decisions in the real world.
Research and consultancy
Rigorous methods, useful answers.
Our work is designed to be scientifically robust and decision-relevant. We partner with organisations that need to analyse flow systems, test interventions, develop modelling capability or interpret complex hydro-environmental evidence.
Research themes¶
Coastal and ocean modelling
High-resolution simulations of hydrodynamics, transport and water quality.
Hydraulic and environmental engineering
Flow processes in natural and engineered water systems.
Optimisation and decision support
Methods that make simulation insight usable for design and operations.
Digital twins and data integration
Combining models, observations and uncertainty for marine applications.
