Research area

David Vetsch's research focusses on the development and application of numerical models to study problems in the fields of hydraulic structures, river engineering and river morphology.

His research activities include i.a. the simulation of sediment transport, river morphodynamics considering vegetation dynamics, two-phase flows and turbulence modelling, 3D flow at hydraulic structures. Since 2002 he leads the development of the BASEMENT software - a freeware tool for hydro- and morphodynamic simulations.

See institute website for further information about current projects.

David Vetsch is head of the research group Numerical Modelling at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW) at ETH Zurich and lecturer at the department of civil, environmental and geomatics engineering since 2013.

David Vetsch studied civil engineering at ETH Zurich. After his diploma degree (2000), he worked as scientific assistant at VAW, first in the hydraulic structures division and afterwards as project leader in the applied numerics division. He obtained his PhD from ETH Zurich in 2011. The topic of his PhD was numerical simulation of sediment transport with meshfree methods.
