Dong Chen
Assistant Research Professor
EDUCATION:
Ph.D., Hydrology, University of Nevada, Reno
M.S., Civil Engineering, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research
B.E., Civil Engineering, Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electric Engineering
ACADEMIC AFFILIATIONS:
Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences - University of Nevada Reno
Water Resources Management Program - University of Nevada Las Vegas
RESEARCH AREAS:
Fluvial hydraulic; sediment transport simulation; riverbank erosion; channel migration; reservoir/estuary deposition; density flow simulation; arid/semi-arid hydrology; watershed land erosion and sediment yield
PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
Dr. Chen's research experience and interests include numerical studies on turbulent flow, sediment transport, riverbank erosion,
and channel migration processes. He has developed a physical-based bank erosion and retreat model (BERM) that takes into account flow
parameters, sediment transport parameters, heterogeneity of bank materials, vegetation influence, and bank geometry.
