Module poster “Numerische Modellierung im Wasserbau”
Module poster “Numerische Modellierung im Wasserbau”
The module explains the hydraulic and (simplified) mathematical fundamentals, applications and hydraulic engineering fields of application of hydrodynamic-numerical models for flow simulation and multiphase flows. The focus is clearly on the application science and not on the mathematical part of the topic.
Conrete module contents:
  • Model concept, model types, definition “HN” models
  • mathematical description of flowing waters
  • Numerical solution methods
  • Modelling methods and their fields of application
  • Model creation, calibration, model accuracy and sources of error
  • Practical example: 3D-“HN”-model for a test stand in the hydraulic engineering laboratory
  • Overview of current software packages
