Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • World War II
  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Geotechnical engineering, Froude number, Flow and Hydraulics. His Mechanics study incorporates themes from Wave propagation, Surface wave, Meteorology and Hydrology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydraulic jump, Communication channel and Pier.

His Froude number research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Air entrainment, Similitude and Open-channel flow. His Flow study combines topics in areas such as Aeration and Environmental engineering. His Hydraulics research incorporates themes from Tailwater, Jet, Plane and Sediment.

His most cited work include:

  • Temporal Evolution of Clear-Water Pier and Abutment Scour (276 citations)
  • Near Field Characteristics of Landslide Generated Impulse Waves (211 citations)
  • LATERAL OUTFLOW OVER SIDE WEIRS (188 citations)

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

Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Hydraulics, Froude number and Open-channel flow are his primary areas of study. His work on Spillway as part of his general Geotechnical engineering study is frequently connected to Water flow, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study ties his expertise on Hydrology together with the subject of Mechanics.

Hydraulics is often connected to Hydraulic structure in his work. The concepts of his Froude number study are interwoven with issues in Tailwater and Dissipation. His Hydraulic jump study incorporates themes from Inflow and Communication channel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geotechnical engineering (40.83%)
  • Mechanics (36.43%)
  • Hydraulics (22.98%)

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

  • Mechanics (36.43%)
  • Open-channel flow (16.38%)
  • Shallow water equations (1.47%)

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

Willi H. Hager spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Open-channel flow, Shallow water equations, Hydraulics and Saint venant. When carried out as part of a general Mechanics research project, his work on Free surface is frequently linked to work in Hydrostatic pressure, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. While the research belongs to areas of Open-channel flow, Willi H. Hager spends his time largely on the problem of Computation, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Supercritical fluid, Space, Curvature and Distribution.

His research on Shallow water equations also deals with topics like

  • Applied mathematics that connect with fields like System of linear equations and Partial differential equation,
  • Breaking wave which intersects with area such as Impulse. The Hydraulics study which covers Hydraulic structure that intersects with Weir, Art history, Biography and Hydraulic engineering. Within one scientific family, Willi H. Hager focuses on topics pertaining to Dike under Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Geotechnical engineering.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An experimental investigation on louvres and angled bar racks (19 citations)
  • Spatial Impulse Wave Generation and Propagation (15 citations)
  • Depth-averaged modelling of granular dike overtopping (6 citations)

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

  • World War II
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Mechanics

His main research concerns Hydraulics, Geotechnical engineering, Private life, Saint venant and Sediment transport. His studies in Hydraulics integrate themes in fields like Hydrology, River engineering, Waves and shallow water, Field and Architectural engineering. His biological study deals with issues like Fluvial, which deal with fields such as Dike.

The various areas that Willi H. Hager examines in his Dike study include Mechanics, Flow and Suspended load. His work deals with themes such as Partial differential equation, Shallow water equations, System of linear equations, Breaking wave and Hydraulic structure, which intersect with Applied mathematics. Willi H. Hager has included themes like Flow and Open-channel flow in his Hydraulic structure study.
