Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This course aims at giving to the students the theoretical and practical notions necessary to understand the characteristics of swell and the actions it induces on structures.
- Fluid mechanics reminders
- Swell theories
- Breaking
- Reflexion, refraction, diffraction
- Real swell
- Induced actions
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the main theories and mains behaviours of swell as well as to compute the actions it induces on structures.
Through the group project and the writing of a report, the students will develop their abilities of self-learning and application of the notions teached during the lectures, their ability to work in group as well as their capacity to structure and expose in writing their reasoning.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The course uses basic notions of mathematics and fluid mechanics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is based on lectures, exercises and a project.
These activities are complementary and form a coherent whole enabling to tackle the course content from a theoretical (lectures) or practical (exercices, project) point of view.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face to face course
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
The slides of the course and videos are available on e-campus.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam AND written work
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
The evaluation of the exercices and the project provide, during the semester, individual marks that are considered with the exam result to build the final mark.
