Hubert Chanson

Hubert Chanson is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland. His main field of expertise is environmental fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, both in terms of theoretical fundamentals, physical and numerical modelling. He leads a group of 5-10 researchers, largely targeting flows around hydraulic structures, two-phase (gas-liquid & solid-liquid) free-surface flows, turbulence in steady and unsteady open channel flows, using computation, lab-scale experiments, field work and analysis. He has published over 1,400 peer reviewed publications, including two dozens of books. He serves on the editorial boards of International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Flow Measurement, Journal of Hydraulic Research and Instrumentation, and Environmental Fluid Mechanics. He chaired the Organisation of the 34th IAHR World Congress held in Brisbane in 2011, and co-chaired the Organisation of the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference held in Brisbane in 2020.
