Learning outcomes of the course unit

The students will obtain knowledge about numerical solutions of flow of water, water quality and static of water structures. After finishing teh course, the studen will be able:
- Explain the basic terms of numerical modeling
- Explain the basic concepts of numerical modeling of water flow (Computational Fliud Dynamics)
- Solve problems of water flow in 1D, 2D and 3D
- Solve selected problems of dam deformation

Prerequisites

Mathematics, Hydraulics, Hydrology, Soil Mechanics, Elasticity and Plasticity, Structural Analysis.

Co-requisites

Mathematical modelling in water management

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Course lectures are supplemented by presentations of mathematical and physical research on the faculty.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Successful conclusion of the course requires the completion of exercises with the granting of credit from the course, compliance with computing and conceptual part of the written test and the actual examination.
