Blake P. Tullis is a Professor at Utah State University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, affiliated with the Utah Water Research Laboratory and the College of Engineering. His research focuses on hydraulic structures, culvert hydraulics, and fish-culvert interaction. He holds a PhD from the University of Michigan (1996) and has taught courses like Hydraulics, Closed Conduits, and Hydraulic Structures Design.
- Education: PhD (Civil & Environmental Engineering, University of Michigan, 1996), MS (Civil & Environmental Engineering, University of Michigan, 1992), BS (Civil & Environmental Engineering, Utah State University, 1990).
- Awards: ASCE Hydraulic Structures Medal (2018), Terry L. Hampton Medal (2016), EWRI Fellow (2015).
Research interests emphasize hydraulic structure design, including labyrinth and piano key weirs, spillway hydraulics, and fish passage dynamics. His work spans experimental and computational modeling, with contributions to dam safety and ecohydraulics. Over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, technical reports, and conference papers highlight his expertise in flow instability mitigation, weir discharge relationships, and culvert rehabilitation.
He has advised over 30 graduate students, focusing on topics like baffled culverts, nappe oscillation, and low-level outlet works. Current projects include spillway renovation models and hydraulic design innovations at the UWRL.
