Heidi Nepf is an American engineer known for her research on fluid flows around aquatic vegetation.
Education and career
Nepf has a B.S. from Bucknell University (1987) and an M.S. from Stanford University (1988).[1] Nepf earned a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Stanford University in 1992 with a dissertation titled "The production and mixing effects of Langmuir circulations".[2] Following her Ph.D., Nepf was a postdoctoral scholar at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and then joined the faculty of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1993.[3] As of 2021, she is the Donald and Martha Harleman Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 2018, Nepf was named a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the citation reads:[4]Шаблон:Blockquote
Research
Nepf is known for her research on the flow of water around aquatic vegetation. In 1999, she developed a model describing how aquatic plants convert kinetic energy into turbulent energy.[5] She has furthered this research by examining the flow of water around plants[6][7] and characterizing sediment flow through coastal marshes and mangroves.[8][9] Using artificial seagrass beds, Nepf and her graduate student Judy Yang determined that turbulence is a good predictor of sediment flow through a seagrass bed.[10][11] Nepf and another graduate student, Jiarui Lei, used similar artificial seagrass reefs to quantify the dissipation of energy by seagrass[12][13] and their results indicate seagrass can protect coastlines that are vulnerable to erosion.[14][15] Nepf's research on water flow around logjams[16] informs river restoration projects by theoretically describing the flow of water around wood placed into a stream.[17] Nepf has also worked on fluid flows in urban regions, specifically on how capturing storm water can be used to control urban flood damage.[18][19]
