13:00 - 14:00 | Keynote lecture : "Horseshoe Vortex Characteristics Near Bed-Mounted Inclined Cylinders"
Bed-mounted inclined cylinders have important applications across different fields of engineering. They are commonly seen in structural supports and offshore platforms. This experimental study investigates the influence of the inclination of bed-mounted cylinders on the horseshoe vortex (HSV) generated around them. To this end, the flow past vertical (VC), backward-inclined (BIC), and forward-inclined (FIC) cylinders were studied using the same fully-developed approach flow. Velocity fields upstream of the cylinder-bed junction were measured using particle image velocimetry at a Reynolds number based on cylinder diameter of 26,000. Mean flow analysis revealed well-defined...Read more

13:00 - 14:00 | Keynote lecture "A High-Resolution National Database of River Widths from Remote Sensing and Cloud-Based Image Processing"
A high-resolution database of river widths was developed for Canadian rivers through advanced remote sensing techniques and cloud-based image processing. By integrating Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery, cloud processing, and automated GIS methods, river widths were systematically measured across 9,500,000 square-kilometers of diverse Canadian landscapes, providing unprecedented spatial and temporal detail. Using the presented methods, large-scale...Read more
