Consulting Engineers and Scientists

Chris Whitlow (Director Edenvale Young) BSc, PhD

Chris has a PhD in Applied Mathematics / Fluid Mechanics and 23 years programming experience in Algol, Fortran, Pascal, C, Basic, Visual Basic and DELPHI. He has extensive experience in computational river and water quality modelling.

 

He was instrumental in the development of industry standard software (ISIS) for real-time hydraulic modelling, operational models and flood forecasting. He has worked on over 75 related projects including the development of ISIS models for the Orange River in South Africa and a GeoGUI flood forecasting system for the Thames between Sutton Courtenay and Hurley.

 

Chris has also written and applied software for tidal and dam break problems using two-dimensional numerical models.

 

Other projects include the development of finite element software for computational groundwater flow; contaminant transport modelling and to simulate temperature in RCC dams.

 

He has expertise in the application of three-dimensional (CFD) mathematical modelling techniques to hydraulic problems and developed one dimensional schemes to model hydraulic jumps in open channel networks. In 1997 he was appointed as honorary Industrial Fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Nottingham.
