About Chris R. Rehmann

Dr. Rehmann’s research in environmental fluid mechanics has built on his initial focus of mixing and turbulence in stratified water bodies. His projects include experiments and modeling of differential mixing of salinity and temperature, the interaction of turbulence and double diffusion, mixing near bubble plumes and boundary mixing in lakes. His group has also worked on river mixing by assessing acoustic measurements of velocity, turbulence and discharge and used acoustic measurements to determine dispersion in streams. He has applied his knowledge of mixing and transport in interdisciplinary collaborations involving the transport of zebra mussel larvae and the fate and transport of pathogens in rivers. Dr. Rehmann teaches courses in engineering hydraulics, groundwater hydrology and environmental flows. Currently, he is the associate chair for undergraduate affairs for the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. In that position, he works with faculty, staff and students on a wide range of issues to foster student success.
