Course detail

Mathematical and experimental modelling in hydrotechnics

FAST-DR51Acad. year: 2024/2025

The course deals with the development of mathematical and physical model in hydrodynamics. Initially the elementary principles of modelling are introduced together with conceptual and mathematical model development. The problems solved are flow and transport of solids in streams and floodplain, groundwater flow and pollution, flow in reservoirs and hydrotechnical structures.
The part of the subject concerns dimensional analysis and the use of appropriate software for numerical solution of the problem. Practical studies are focused on the problems connected with PhD. thesis.
