Research projects
Introduction
A fundamental objective of research to be undertaken in the Total Environment Simulator (TES)
is to promote multi-disciplinary approaches to modelling fluid and sediment fluxes relevant to
fluvial, estuarine and coastal environmental problems. In particular, research projects foster
inter-university collaborations that pool expertise in modelling different hydrological and hydraulic
environments. The inherently flexible design of the TES enables modelling of the water-sediment
interface over both mobile and fixed boundaries allowing detailed studies of the inter-relationships
between flow patterns and the dynamics of sediment movement. Boundary conditions can be carefully
controlled providing a unique source of data for developing and validating numerical models of hydrological
and hydraulic problems.
Who can use the Total Environment Simulator?
Although the facility is owned and run by the Department of Geography, University of Hull, it is available
for both research and developmental projects to both industry and academia. Researchers from other
Universities and organisations are strongly encouraged to use the facility for collaborative projects
with the staff (insert link to website section) at the TES and for their own research. Visitors at The
Deep research facility will have office space to work in whilst they are at The Deep. Please contact us
(link to website section) for further information.
