Kastinger’s research explores flow field improvements in hydraulic structures, such as tranquilizing racks and bypass systems for fish migration. His publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining fluid dynamics and environmental engineering to address water management challenges.

Recent work includes studies on Tranquilizing Racks in Desanding Facilities (2024) and fish passage optimization (2023). Earlier contributions (2022, 2020) investigate bypass layouts for aquatic species and wave dynamics on steep slopes.
