Improving water turbulence modeling to tackle invasive carp

Assistant professor Binbin Wang A Mizzou Engineer is helping develop new river turbulence modeling capabilities in hopes of determining potential spawning locations for invasive carp. Assistant Professor Binbin Wang in civil and environmental engineering (CEE) is teaming up with the U.S. Geological Survey’s Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) on the project. “We want to be able to control these fish,” said Duane Chapman, supervisory research fish biologist with CERC. “We have previously partnered with physical scientists that are good at modeling fish-egg transport. That’s important because these carp spawn in rivers only. We’re hoping Dr. Wang’s new model will improve our ability to…
