Course detail

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the problems of groundwater hydraulics from the view of civil engineer. After finishing, the studen will be able to solve the wide range of problems of in the field using both analytical and numerical methods, he will be familiar with the software available and will know the co-operating professionals dealing with groundwater (hydrology, hydrogeology, pedology).

Knowledge in following areas:
basic assumptions applied in ground water hydraulics, Darcy’s equation.
1 D flow, well hydraulics in steady state
1 D – well hydraulics. Pumping test evaluation.
1D – problems of one-dimensional seepage - FEM.
Two-dimensional seepage in horizontal plane - interference of wells, FEM.
Two-dimensional seepage in vertical plane – drawing and evaluation of flow net + FEM.
Solution of problems of seepage flow.
Seepage deformation.
Solute transport in ground water.
