Dr Stuart Cameron is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen, where he has been contributing to research since 2007. His work is centered on environmental fluid mechanics, with a focus on open-channel flows, turbulence, sediment transport, and bio-inspired hydrodynamics. He is affiliated with a series of high-impact interdisciplinary research projects involving advanced experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics.
His research interests include:
- Open-channel flow turbulence structure
- Sediment entrainment and transport mechanisms
- Flow-biota interactions in aquatic ecosystems
- Development and error analysis of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) techniques
- Hydrodynamics of bioinspired surfaces and fish-shaped bodies
The most recent publications highlight a strong trend in analyzing complex turbulent flows over rough beds, secondary currents, and bio-inspired surface morphologies. His work frequently involves high-resolution experimental techniques and theoretical modeling, often in collaboration with leading researchers such as V. Nikora. Articles span topics from drag forces on sediment particles to hydrokinetic turbine performance and field-based PIV studies in natural water bodies.
Notable scientific contributions have been supported by major grants from EPSRC, NERC, and the European Commission. These include projects such as:
- "Secondary currents in turbulent flows over rough walls" (EPSRC, 2021–2024)
- "River flow regulation, fish behaviour and status – RIBES" (European Commission, 2020–2023)
- "Field stereoscopic PIV system for freshwater and marine ecosystems" (NERC, 2019–2020)
- "Bed friction in rough-bed free-surface flows" (EPSRC, 2014–2017)
- "HYTECH" (Marie Curie ITN, 2013–2016)
- "High-resolution numerical and experimental studies of turbulence-induced sediment erosion" (EPSRC & DFG, 2010–2014)
Dr Cameron has not advised any named students in the available data, but he collaborates extensively within research teams focused on environmental hydraulics and experimental fluid mechanics. He is involved in the development of advanced measurement systems and theoretical frameworks for understanding complex flows in natural and engineered environments.
He is actively engaged in laboratory and field-based research, contributing to both fundamental fluid mechanics and applied environmental engineering challenges. His work bridges engineering, ecology, and physics, particularly in the context of river systems and aquatic habitats.
