Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Turbulence

Turbulence, Mechanics, Hydrology, Vortex and Drag are her primary areas of study. Her Turbulence research incorporates elements of Length scale and Atmospheric sciences. Many of her research projects under Mechanics are closely connected to Thermal diffusivity with Thermal diffusivity, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Her Canopy research extends to Hydrology, which is thematically connected. The various areas that Heidi Nepf examines in her Vortex study include Instability, Shear flow, Boundary layer, Shear and Kármán vortex street. Her research investigates the connection between Drag and topics such as Open-channel flow that intersect with issues in Fully developed and Leading edge.

Her most cited work include:

  • Drag, turbulence, and diffusion in flow through emergent vegetation (887 citations)
  • Flow structure in depth-limited, vegetated flow (545 citations)
  • Flow and Transport in Regions with Aquatic Vegetation (466 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary areas of investigation include Mechanics, Turbulence, Hydrology, Drag and Flow. Her work in the fields of Vortex and Reynolds number overlaps with other areas such as Cauchy number. Heidi Nepf has included themes like Canopy, Length scale, Atmospheric sciences and Flume in her Turbulence study.

Her Hydrology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geometry and Sediment transport. In general Drag, her work in Drag coefficient is often linked to Dissipation and Scale linking many areas of study. The concepts of her Flow study are interwoven with issues in Residence time, Soil science, Wake and Vegetation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (37.21%)
  • Turbulence (36.05%)
  • Hydrology (33.72%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Flow (25.58%)
  • Vegetation (13.37%)
  • Turbulence (36.05%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Flow, Vegetation, Turbulence, Hydrology and Atmospheric sciences. Her Flow research integrates issues from Soil science, Fully developed, River ecosystem, Geometry and Leading edge. The Soil science study combines topics in areas such as Drag, Wetland and Sewage treatment.

Heidi Nepf does research in Turbulence, focusing on Turbulence kinetic energy specifically. Her studies deal with areas such as Bed load and Sediment transport as well as Hydrology. Her research investigates the connection with Atmospheric sciences and areas like Canopy which intersect with concerns in Flume, Current and Control reconfiguration.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Vortex Structure and Sediment Deposition in the Wake behind a Finite Patch of Model Submerged Vegetation (26 citations)
  • Turbulent Kinetic Energy in Submerged Model Canopies Under Oscillatory Flow (23 citations)
  • A Turbulence‐Based Bed‐Load Transport Model for Bare and Vegetated Channels (22 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Geometry

Heidi Nepf mostly deals with Vegetation, Turbulence, Mechanics, Flow and Drag. Her Vegetation research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Turbulence kinetic energy, Bed load, Sediment transport, Hydrology and Erosion. Her study on Turbulence is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Atmospheric sciences.

The Atmospheric sciences study which covers Sediment that intersects with Wake. Her Mechanics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stiffness and Blade. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plane, Geometry, Turbulent diffusion and Vegetation.
