River and Reservoir Sedimentation Control

Updated: Sep 29, 2020


The research aims to control the sedimentation problems in the river channel or water reservoir by using mathematical-based model. Both suspended sediment and bed sediment transportation are considered. The control of hyperbolic system and reaction-diffusion equation are studied in the research.
