Hydraulics - introduction to hydrology

Objectives

Basic concepts of steady-state or transient unidirectional flows

Introduction to usual softwares

Hydrological balance at a given scale

Description

Pipe flows:

•     General principles of hydraulics
•     Definition of a pressure flow systems
•     Flow regimes
•     Notions of linear / singular head losses
•     Pipeline networks
•     Pumps and turbines

 
Open channel flow:

•     Engineering problems of free surface flows
•     Stationary flow
•     Hydraulic structures and singularities
•     Equations of Saint-Venant
•     Numerical modeling

Hydrological balance:

• What hydrological balance means?
• Estimation of rainfall volume
• Estimation of evapotranspiration
• Estimation of the volume of subsurface flows
• Estimation of the volume of surface flows

Targeted skills

To be able:

• to mobilize theoretical knowledge to build a numerical or theoretical model adapted to a given objective,
• to interpret the results from the modeling,
• to make a critical analysis of these results.
