Work conducted in the Research Centre for Environmental and Geophysical Flows at Bristol has saved life and property in areas affected by avalanche. The researchers who use the Centre aim to understand the fundamental principles that govern natural fluid flows and to apply this understanding to practical problems.
The staff of the Centre, with international reputations in the applications of fluid dynamics to environmental and geoscience problems, are drawn from the departments of Earth Sciences, Geography, Civil Engineering and Mathematics at Bristol. The approach of the Centre is to combine field observations, laboratory experiments, theoretical modeling and numerical simulation.
