Numerical Models and Hydraulics
About
About the course
Course content
Analytical and numerical methods for computation of free surface profiles and flood waves in rivers. Metods to compute dispersion processes in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions. Algorithms to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent flow, including the use of computer programs. Topics from limnology, chemistry, biology and sediment transport, together with algorithms to model such processes in multiple dimensions.
Learning outcome
To give knowledge about physical processes in lakes and rivers, and numerical methods to model the processes.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, assignments using computers and hand calculations. Lectures are given in English. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
