This $483,305 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of innovative control and estimation approaches for smart water management systems at the University of California, San Diego through July 2025. Specifically, the grantee will work to quantify distributed sediment profiles in water channels using measurements from gate locations, and develop flow control strategies using continuum models of density gradients induced by moving sediment. An experimental setup will also be designed to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the methodologies. While advancing the science, the grantee will introduce a new graduate course related to the research topic and provide opportunities for students to participate in water management research and development. The work aims to exploit partial differential equation boundary control techniques for efficient water and sediment dynamics management using fundamental balance equations describing coupled water and sediment wave dynamics. This award supports the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to foster innovation in engineering research and education nationwide.
