Welcome to our new research engineer, Korina Konstantina Drakaki, joining the Innosuisse #STORE project🇨🇭⚡️! Korina will focus on exploring methods to facilitate #hydropeaking mitigation, including #ReRegulation Basins 🌊 & #Battery #Energy Storage Systems 🔋. Excited to have you on board🚀


Frequent #hydropeaking reshapes #RiverEcosystems🏞️— how do we measure the impact? Co-authored by Davide Vanzo, formerly @vaw_hydraulics, Bätz et al introduce 3 #innovative metrics to track #habitat dynamics, offering tools for smarter targeted #Restorations. doi.org/10.1080/247053…

On Switzerland’s #NationalFutureDay🇨🇭, Marlene Scholz & Janine Vögele guided our next generation of #RiverEngineers in a fun exploration of VAW Hydraulics's new #StreamTable! They learned about some key #morphodynamic processes and #RiverRestoration measures. 👷♂️👷♀️🏞️🍀





Before the end of the year, we gathered at the VAW-Christmas party 🎄 with a cozy indoor atmosphere in our VAW Hydraulics's lab and a delicious outdoor barbecue. Wishing you all a joyful Christmas and a happy New Year! ✨🎅🎉



Did you miss our 10th #BASEMENT #UserMeeting? You might have missed the lively discussions & unique #BASEMENT vibe—but you can still catch up on all the presentations! A big thanks to all presenters. The slides (PDF) are available here: basement.ethz.ch/news-and-event… See you next time!

📢 Another paper from Simone Pagliara’s PhD! 🎉 Simone & et al. investigated how tunnel roughness impacts air demand & performance in #LowLevelOutlets (LLOs) of high-head dams, providing key design recommendations for safer LLO infrastructure. 🔗Read more: doi.org/10.1061/JHEND8…

More from Simone Pagliara's PhD! Simone et al. investigated how tunnel wall roughness impacts high-velocity #AirWater flows, & the effects on #AirEntrainment, flow bulking, #turbulence, & interface behavior— insights for #hydraulic design & modeling. Read: doi.org/10.1063/5.0249…
