Announcements

We are pleased to announce the winners of the Best Poster Award and Oral Presentation Awards, sponsored by Water at the 6th IAHR Europe Congress Warsaw Poland 2020 Hydro-Environment Research and Engineering “No Frames No Borders” in Warsaw, Poland, on 15–18 February 2021.

The Editorial Team of Water would like to congratulate the winner of the Best Poster Award at the 6th IAHR Europe Congress Warsaw Poland 2020, Lisdey Verónica Herrera Gómez (Politecnico di Milano, Italy), for “Supercritical flow in curved tunnels”.

The Editorial Team of Water would like to congratulate the winners of the Best Oral Presentation Awards at the 6th IAHR Europe Congress Warsaw Poland 2020, Davide Vettori (Politecnico di Torino, Italy), for “Evaluating the performance of reconfiguration descriptors for submerged plants”, and Cosimo Peruzzi (Politecnico di Torino, Italy), for “Interaction Between Gravity Waves and Turbulent Currents over a Smooth-Bed”.

Davide Vettori is a research fellow in the Department of Environmental, Land and Infrastructure Engineering, Politecnico di Torino. His work focuses on environmental fluid mechanics and the interactions between flow and biota. He is an experimentalist at heart and conducts experiments both in laboratories and in the field, combining techniques developed in fluid mechanics and solid mechanics. His recent interests embrace several topics, with focus on turbulence and related phenomena, flow–biota interactions, hydrodynamics of deformable bodies, bio-morphodynamics of riverine and coastal environments, plant biomechanics and adaptation of biota in response to environmental stresses.

Cosimo Peruzzi is an environmental/hydraulic engineer. His research interests are based on the hydraulics of open-channel flows, both with software modeling and laboratory experiments or field campaign activities. The principal topics addressed are the following: hydraulic hazard, turbulence, wave–current interaction, rural channel network management, water quality.
