GCIV2059-1  Management of drainage bassin and hydrographic constructions
Duration :  20h Th, 20h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Civil Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearFirst semester4
Holder(s) :  Benjamin Dewals, Michel Pirotton
Language :  French language
Course contents :  Following the general courses on applied hydraulics and environmental hydraulics given to civil engineering students, this course addresses advanced concepts of physically-based hydrological modelling, transport of components through surface drainage and management of the natural risks linked to hydrographic networks.
Practical work will relate to digital modelling, in a general sense, of non-stationary drainage from rivers, including aspects of component transport.
Course objective :  The aim of this course is to allow students to specialise in the field of hydrology management of catchment areas and hydrographic networks by presenting the latest research developments on the subject and by inviting students to apply their skills in digital modelling to the resolution of concrete practical case studies.
Prerequisites :  Applied Hydraulics and Environmental Hydraulics course
Workshops :  Tutorial-based practical work designed to lead students towards establishing a digital calculation code for modelling in the general sense of transient drainage from rivers, including aspects of component transport.
Organization :  Lectures followed by practical tutorials.
Written notes :  Comprehensive typed course notes are available.
Assessment :  Oral examination in the January or September session (theory and exercises)
