Davide Wuthrich

Davide Wuthrich is an Honorary Lecturer at the School of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland. His research focuses on hydraulic engineering, coastal and flood risk assessment, and air-water flow dynamics.

• Key Research Themes: Coastal engineering, tsunami impact, dam-break hydraulics, environmental fluid mechanics.
• Technical Expertise: Experimental fluid dynamics, phase-detection probes, multiphase flow analysis.
• Recent Projects: Analysis of flood loads in Germany, tsunami-like wave effects on buildings, stability of plastic debris in flows.

Scientific Contributions: Dr. Wuthrich has published extensively on coastal and flood engineering, with a focus on hydrodynamic loads, air entrainment mechanisms, and structural resilience. His work bridges experimental hydraulics and real-world disaster mitigation.
