Biography
Harish Kumar Patel, a dedicated research scholar at IIT Guwahati's Department of Civil Engineering, specializes in Water Resources Engineering and Management. His research delves into the impact of downward seepage on local scour phenomena around spur dikes. Harish's experiments focus on understanding flow patterns and turbulent characteristics around these structures, such as velocity, Reynolds shear stress, turbulent kinetic energy, and bed shear stress.
To validate his experimental findings, Harish employs sophisticated Flow 3D software simulations. His research underscores the need to consider seepage effects in open channel flow and sediment transport studies. Harish's work enhances our understanding of channel dynamics by accurately characterising seepage impacts on various flow parameters. This insight holds promise for improving decision-making processes in channel management and restoration endeavours.
