Module description
Qualification goals
Students have the ability to use the most important software solutions for the design and planning of hydraulic engineering systems. They have knowledge of the necessary data bases, model structure and application as well as the evaluation, presentation and interpretation of generated results. Students will be able to understand the theoretical derivation of the field equations of Newtonian fluids and thus the basic framework of common software for modeling three-dimensional flow processes. They will be able to interpret the aspects of taking friction phenomena into account and analyze natural flow processes with regard to numerical modeling and highlight the essential modeling steps in a targeted manner.
Contents
Contents are
- Algebra software for engineering calculations,
- Geographical information systems (GIS),
- Hydrodynamic-numerical modeling (1D and 2D) of flowing and still waters,
- Calculation of seepage water processes and for calculating the stability of dam structures and
- Mathematical expressions within fluid dynamics (3D),
- Fundamentals of frictional flows and boundary layer theory,
- Field equations for the flow of Newtonian fluids,
- Fundamentals of turbulent flows and
- approaches to turbulence modeling.
