Current research activity

My PhD research investigated the characteristics of local clear-water scour in bridge piers. The phenomenon was approached experimentally from a fundamental point of view. Detailed measurements mapped the spatio-temporal evolution of scour for a variety of flow conditions (time and length scales). The first part of this work is published in established Journals in the area of Fluid Mechanics:

"Time-resolved flow dynamics and Reynolds number effects at a wall–cylinder junction", Journal of Fluid Mechanics, July 2015.

«Effects of Wall Roughness on Turbulent Junction Flow Characteristics», Experiments in Fluids, January 2016

Past research activity

During my undergraduate and master studies, I focused on the following fields: study of saltwater intrusion in river estuaries, application of numerical models in rivers during flood events, sediment transport, development of sustainable management systems and qualitative assessment of graduate programs curricula.

The majority of my research results can be found within the texts of my dissertations:

Undergraduate thesis:	«Numerical modeling of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the saline wedge – Experimental and applied control devices on the emergence and evolution of the phenomenon»
Graduate (MSc) thesis:	«Flood risk study in Axios/Vardar River»

 

The aforementioned works are the results of my individual interest for study on the particular phenomena. Nevertheless, I also contributed to team work that took place within wider research projects. So, I participated in the following:

2006-2008:	«Indicators system for the evaluation of the environment and sustainability in the Thessaloniki area» - Joint project between Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Organization of Thessaloniki’s Regulative Project and Environmental Protection.
2007-2008:	«Questionnaire survey on the quality assessment of the graduate studies program of Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development» - Division of Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
