| Abstract | In the course Numerical Hydraulics the basics of numerical modelling of flows are presented. |
| Learning objective | The goal of the course is to develop the understanding of the students for numerical simulation of flows to an extent that they can later use commercial software in a responsible and critical way. |
| Content | The basic equations are derived from first principles. Possible simplifications relevant for practical problems are shown and their applicability is discussed. Using the example of non-steady state pipe flow numerical methods such as the method of characteristics and finite difference methods are introduced. The finite volume method as well as the method of characteristics are used for the solution of the shallow water equations. Special aspects such as wave propagation and turbulence modelling are also treated. All methods discussed are applied pratically in exercises. This is done using programs in MATLAB which partially are programmed by the students themselves. Further, some generelly available softwares such as BASEMENT for non-steady shallow water flows are used. |
| Lecture notes | Lecture notes, powerpoints shown in the lecture and programs used can be downloaded. They are also available in German. |

Performance assessment
| Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again) | |
Performance assessment as a semester course | |
| ECTS credits | 3 credits |
| Examiners | M. Holzner |
| Type | session examination |
| Language of examination | English |
| Repetition | The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit. |
| Mode of examination | oral 30 minutes |
| Additional information on mode of examination | Five practical exercises will be given in the course. Four will be solved using MATLAB and are partially programmed by the students and one exercise will be solved using BASEMENT. Successful solution of the BASEMENT assignment plus at least 3 Matlab exercises will provide a maximum Bonus of 0.25 points to the exam grade. |
