2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
You will understand the basics of classical numerical methods for modelling the motion of water in hydraulic and environmental engineering problems. General topics: governing equations, discretisation, and criteria for judging the quality of various solvers (accuracy, stability). In the context of free-surface flows, we look at the finite difference, finite volume and finite element methods. The topics will be theoretical, considering practical applications but independent of software implementations. The course aims to be valuable to programmers and model users.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- You will understand the governing equations and numerical methods for solving flow and transport phenomena.
- You will be aware of the limitations and common difficulties in using different numerical methods in solving flow and transport problems
B. Skills
- You will be able to develop a simple algorithm for the solution of the advection equation
- You will be be confident in using computational hydraulics software to solve engineering problems
C. Attitudes
- You will learn how to
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
2.3 Methods
Weekly lectures, focusing on the theory. Questions will be given to be answered by email until the next class. Solution to these will be discussed on request at the beginning of the lecture.
