Next to his university job, he worked as a consultant for many Danish Consulting companies, especially DHI and LICengineering Ltd both specialized in Hydraulic Engineering. In addition he has worked for the Danish Coastal Authority, for the World Bank (China and Bangladesh) and for public authorities in US, Ireland and Iceland.
Hydraulics and other studies [1] An open channel, with a uniform depth. Open-channel hydraulics deals with uniform and non-uniform streams. Illustration of hydraulic and hydrostatic, from the "Table of Hydraulics and Hydrostatics", from Cyclopædia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, edited by Ephraim Chambers, 1728, Vol. 1
Hydraulic Flood Retention Basin (HFRB) View from Church Span Bridge, Bern, Switzerland Riprap lining a lake shore. Hydraulic engineering as a sub-discipline of civil engineering is concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water and sewage. One feature of these systems is the extensive use of gravity as the motive force to ...
Hydraulic mechanics may have indeed been the driving force behind the construction of ancient Egyptian pyramids. In a recently published study in PLOS ONE, scientists concluded that the Step ...
1926 – Erwin Madelung relates quantum mechanics with hydrodynamics through his quantum hydrodynamics equations, known as Madelung equations. 1932 – The concept of quantum of sound is introduced by Igor Tamm. 1937 – Superfluidity is discovered in helium-4 by Pyotr Kapitsa [55] and independently by John F. Allen and Don Misener. [56]

Between 2004 and 2013, the World Bank committed to lend or give at least $338 billion, according to bank data. Its private-lending affiliate, the International Finance Corporation, committed to invest at least $116 billion during the same period in corporations and other banks in pursuit of the overall goal of alleviating poverty.
Fluid statics or hydrostatics is the branch of fluid mechanics that studies fluids at hydrostatic equilibrium [1] and "the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid on an immersed body". [ 2 ] It encompasses the study of the conditions under which fluids are at rest in stable equilibrium as opposed to fluid dynamics , the study of fluids in motion.
