Our research is conducted with rigour and pragmatism, always with a view to generating a significant impact for industry and society.

Our areas of scientific expertise

At the Hydro Alps Lab, we explore the frontiers of innovation to meet the complex challenges of hydropower. Our interdisciplinary areas of research are designed to bring practical solutions to players in the sector, with a focus on digitalisation and sustainability.

  • Unsteady hydrodynamics and fluid-structure interactions
    Analysis of instabilities and critical phenomena
  • Performance and reliability of hydroelectric facilities
    Controlling complex flows for optimised infrastructures.
  • Digitalisation and intelligence for operations
    Digital technologies to improve maintenance
  • Flexibility and sustainability in an alpine environment
    Better predict the behaviour of components under extreme conditions
