Daniel Valero

Daniel Valero is a Research Associate at the Institute for Water and Environment, specializing in Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management. He contributes to the Hydraulic Engineering and Multiphase Flows Group (Section Experimental Hydraulics), focusing on fluid dynamics and sustainable water infrastructure.

Research Expertise: Valero investigates multiphase flows (air-water, sediment-water, plastic-water), turbulence modeling, experimental hydraulics, and climate adaptation in hydraulic systems. His work integrates:

• Advanced instrumentation for flow measurement
• Numerical simulations of turbulent transport
• Hydraulic design optimization
• Plastic pollution dynamics in rivers

Professional Affiliations:

• Leadership Team, IAHR Technical Committee on Hydraulic Structures
• ICOLD Technical Committee C: Hydraulics for Dams
• European IAHR YPN Representative & IAHR Council Member

Publication Trends: His recent articles (2018–2022) demonstrate expertise in experimental fluid mechanics, turbulence analysis, multiphase flow instrumentation, and environmental hydraulics—particularly plastic transport mechanisms and hydraulic jump aerations.

Laboratory: Valero conducts research within the Hydraulic Engineering and Multiphase Flows Group, advancing experimental techniques for complex fluid systems.
