- Contents
- The equations of the hydraulics for some practical engineering problems (free surface and groundwater flow) are solved using analytical or numerical integration, with reference to the limits and the accuracy of the used models.
- Reference texts
- Lecture notes in English can be provided on request.
- Educational objectives
- The main objective of the course is to provide students with the bases needed to solve problems of interest for civil engineers, i.e. flood risk management and capture zone definition for well fields.
- Prerequisites
- Fundamentals of hydraulics and informatics.
- Teaching methods
- Lectures and tutorials usingModelMuse (MODFLOW pre- and post-processor, https://www.usgs.gov/software/modelmuse-a-graphical-user-interface-groundwater-models) and HEC-RAS (http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/)
