Biography

Dr. Richmond is a Chief Engineer in the Hydrology Group. His professional experience includes basic and applied research, university teaching, and project management. His principal areas of expertise are in the development and application of computational models of hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and contaminant transport in environmental systems, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), physical modeling of hydraulic structures, fisheries engineering, and turbulence modeling in CFD. Dr. Richmond is the developer of the MASS1 (Modular Aquatic Simulation System) one-dimensional and MASS2 two-dimensional hydrodynamics and water quality computer models. He is the co-developer of an individual model for fish called FINS (Fish Individual-based Numerical Simulator). He is currently leading the development of a three-dimensional CFD model for engineered and environmental systems.
