Hydraulic Engineering and Modeling of Hydrosystems
This course introduces students to the principles of hydromechanics and hydraulic engineering as well as to modeling of hydrosystems focusing on the subsurface. Solid fundamentals in combination with modern simulation methods are essential for planning and managing hydrosystems. A solid and trendsetting methodical education will be offered which enables students to solve water-related problems in arid regions.
Hydromechanics and Hydraulic Engineering focus on balance equations, open channel hydraulics, groundwater flow and transport, experimental design as well as river engineering and restoration, reservoirs, hydropower, water ways and coastal engineering. Modeling of hydrosystems considers simulation methods, including transport processes in groundwater, model concepts, discretization methods (Finite-Difference, Finite-Element and Finite-Volume Methods), stabilization methods, components of modeling systems, a computer exercise for a groundwater flow and transport model with simple engineering problems in arid regions, and an introduction to subsurface multiphase flow.
