Understanding and being able to predict fluvial processes is one of
the biggest challenges for hydraulics and environmental engineers,
hydrologists and other scientists interested in preserving and
restoring the diverse functions of rivers. The interactions among
flow, turbulence, vegetation, macroinvertebrates and other
organisms, as well as the transport and retention of particulate
matter, have important consequences on the ecological health of
rivers. Managing rivers in an ecologically friendly way is a major
component of sustainable engineering design, maintenance and
restoration of ecological habitats. To address these challenges, a
major focus of River Flow 2016 was to highlight the latest advances
in experimental, computational and theoretical approaches that can
be used to deepen our understanding and capacity to predict flow
and the associated fluid-driven ecological processes, anthropogenic
influences, sediment transport and morphodynamic processes. River
Flow 2016 was organized under the auspices of the Committee for
Fluvial Hydraulics of the International Association for
Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR). Since its first
edition in 2002, the River Flow conference series has become the
main international event focusing on river hydrodynamics, sediment
transport, river engineering and restoration. Some of the
highlights of the 8th International Conference on Fluvial
Hydraulics were to focus on inter-disciplinary research involving,
among others, ecological and biological aspects relevant to river
flows and processes and to emphasize broader themes dealing with
river sustainability. River Flow 2016 contains the contributions
presented during the regular sessions covering the main conference
themes and the special sessions focusing on specific hot topics of
river flow research, and will be of interest to academics
interested in hydraulics, hydrology and environmental engineering.
