The Environmental Fluid Mechanics Research Group at UBC seeks to examine the fundamental role of fluid motions in determining environmental quality. Our research team approaches physical problems of contaminant transport, stratified flows, mixing, turbulence and ice-water interactions. We use a variety of techniques including analytical methods, field experimentation, laboratory simulation and 3D numerical modelling.
