Advanced Numerical Methods

Description

General review of numerical methods and finite element method, One dimensional unsteady flow, Quasi two dimensional unsteady flow, Unsteady dispersion in rivers, Water and sediment routing in rivers, Model calibration, Model verification.

Program

M.Sc. in Water Resources Engineering

Objectives

• The course aims at enabling the student to develop advanced models for hydraulic problem such as open channel water surface profile calculation problems, pipe network problems, and groundwater problems. In addition, river sediment calculation problems should also be solved by developing advanced models. The student should also be able to calibrate and verify the developed model with suitable data, apply the developed model for future prediction of river status.
