Modeling in Water Management
FAST-CR051Acad. year: 2020/2021
Introduction to modelling of processes in water management (classification of problems, initial and boundary problems, definition of the model, state variables).
Direct and indirect modelling (direct and inverse problems), principles of continuity and determinism, philosophy of stochastic modelling.
Basic equations of fluid and structural mechanics (mass conservation, momentum and energy conservation, equations of state).
Strain-stress problems in water management, local and global stability, limit states. Principle of virtual works, finite elements method, thermal stress.
Selected problems of seepage hydraulics, relaxation method, transient flow, phreatic surface solutions.
Dam break modelling due to overtopping and internal erosion.
Modelling of advection and dispersion of matter (mathematical formulation, steady and unsteady models). Balance and dynamic models.
