GUOHONG (JENNIFER) DUAN

EDUCATION:

Ph.D., Computational Hydroscience and Engineering, University of Mississippi
M.S., Hydraulic Engineering, Tsinghua University, P.R. China
B.S., Hydraulic Engineering, Wuhan University, P.R. China

PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:

Dr. Duan's research experience and interests include experimental studies on turbulent flow, sediment transport, and channel morphological processes. She has developed an enhanced two-dimensional numerical model to simulate the alluvial channel initiation, widening, and migration processes. Her recent research focused on the application of her model to simulate sediment transport, bank erosion, and alluvial channel developing processes in Feather River Watershed, located in northern California. At the same time, she was involved in the theoretical analysis of the vegetation control in open channel flow and the mechanics of contaminant sediment transport. She is also interested in water quality modeling and the interaction between surface and groundwater systems.
