Learning outcomes of the course unit

The methodology of the acquisition of knowledge in complex phenomena mathematically difficult to articulate.
Modelling the water and other models, usability, economic demands.
Modelling, setting standards, the prevailing forces, conditions of patterns of similarity.
Measuring instruments and methods, uncertainty in measurement.
Suitable applications in the field of water management and environment, interdisciplinary applications (variable load structure).

Prerequisites

Physics, mathematics, concrete structures, earth mechanics, hydraulics.
Basic knowledge, including statistics. Basic knowledge including laws, fluid flow, fluid.

Co-requisites

Mathematical modelling in relation to physical modelling, measurement and reporting. The definition of boundary conditions and limits of the physical modell.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Links to the teaching field, excursions, the final thesis, the possibility of further professional growth, such as doctoral studies.
Consultations are offered in response to a valid schedule of the teacher and students can also negotiate individually according to the needs and opportunities for students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Theoretical instruction in the classroom in the range of about 1/3 full. Other lessons are practical in the Laboratory of Water Management Research Institute of Water Structures, which will also become familiar with commonly used methods of measuring equipment including EIS (Electrical impedance spectroscopy), LDA, PIV and UVP using CW and pulsed lasers. The division into working groups by entering a specific task and its solution. opposition from other groups. Evaluation, assessment.

Course curriculum

1.- 2. Bases and theory of modelling.
3.- 4. Hydraulic modells - scale, material, measuring devices.
5. Analogue modells and aerodynamic modells.
6.- 7. Measuring and processing of results.
8.- 9. Measurement in site, measuring devices.
10. Results elaboration, recount modell values to the real values.
11.-13. Possibility of excursions or other individual events (measurement technology, workplace AV CR, etc.) during
the semester.

Work placements

Possibility to organize individually in relation to the final work, in relation to future employment at the request of the employer, in preparation for future doctoral studies.
Subject CR53 Physical modeling is appropriate and often used by students under the Erasmus scheme as well as for the processing of the final work.

Aims

Methodology and solution of hydrodynamic phenomenons including their modelling

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Recommended optional programme components

Involvement in specific research. Study of measuring methods. Uncertainty and reliability of the measurement and the measurement techniques or methods.
