Who we are ?

The research group HECE is part of the ArGEnCo Department (Architecture, Geology, Environment and Constructions) of the University of Liege.

It conducts research in the following fields:

Engineering Hydraulics Laboratory

Activity fields
  1. Studies on physical models of free surface and pressurized flows, considering sediments or air entrainment
  2. Hydraulic design and hydrodynamics analysis of structures (dams, locks, hydroelectric power plants...)
  3. Hydrodynamic studies of large hydraulic projects by means of coupled experimental-numerical approachs
  4. Making and operation of experimental facilities to perform research works in free surface and pressurized hydraulics
  5. Small or large scale physical models manufacturing
  6. Flowmeters calibration (propelers and electromagnetic probes)

Le HECE a le plaisir de vous inviter à la conférence qui se déroulera le mardi 20 mars prochain à l’Espace Duesberg de Verviers à partir de 20h00 :

Inondations en Wallonie, une fatalité ?

suivie de la projection du film

Paris 2011 – La Grande Inondation

L’invitation en pièce jointe fournit davantage de détails concernant cette soirée.

Vos proches, amis et connaissances sont évidemment invités.

The University of Liege invites applications for postdoctoral fellowships for the academic year 2012-2013. The deadline for applications is 28 March 2012.

GESINUS: 2010, 2011 and 2012 annual meetings

In July 2010, our research group organized the 17th International Symposium on Unsteady Sediment Transport - GESINUS. Presentations are available for download through this link.

After Munich in 2011, the next GESINUS annual meeting will take place in Koblenz in Summer 2012.
