G11. HYDRAULIC MODELLING (KUL-code: HF40 (Th); HF41 (Pr)) Lecturer: DELLEUR J. / BERLAMONT J. ECTS-credit: 5 pts Contact hours: 30 hrs. of theory/30 hrs. of practical Prerequisites: Mathematics for water engineering (C2), Hydraulics (C5) Course syllabus: Lecture notes Part 1 (Delleur J.) Time and place: 1st semester, 8 sessions of 3 hours each, VUB Evaluation: One closed book examination on theory, one open book examination on problems, four reports on computer-based exercises. Comparable books: Sturm, T.W. “Open Channel Hydraulics”, Mc Graw-Hill, 2001. Particularly chapter 7 on Governing Equations of Unsteady Flow, Chapter 8 on Numerical Solution of the Unsteady Flow Equations and Chapter 9 on Simplified Methods of Flow Routing. Jain, S.C. “Open Channel Flow”, John Wiley and Sons, 2000. Presents clear and complete derivations of the basic equations and their solution. Learning objectives: Due to the variability of rainfall, most natural flows are time dependent. It is therefore important to grasp the analysis of unsteady flows. The objectives of the course are thus to understand the equations governing unsteady free surface flows, to comprehend the available methods of solution and to acquire some familiarity with a few of the professional softwares available for the solution of unsteady free surface flow problems. Course description: The course starts with the derivation of the hyperbolic partial differential equations of unsteady free surface flow (St. Venant Equations). Their theoretical solution by the method of characteristics is examined next. It is demonstrated by a computer exercise based on the Pin-Nam Lin method (Ven Te Chow). Then numerical solutions are considered: The first is the method of specified intervals, based on the characteristic equations. It is illustrated by a computer exercise. Following this, are the explicit and implicit formulations of the finite difference forms, of the St. Venant equations. These are illustrated in the model FLDWAV (unsteady flow in rivers). It is the most comprehensive software available for flood forecasting. Then simplified methods, including the diffusion and the kinematic wave are considered. The software program KINEROS illustrates the application of the kinematic wave to the modeling of overland flow and upland small streams. It includes infiltration and erosion components. It can be used for both agricultural and urban watersheds. An exercise is planned for the illustration of KINEROS. The combination of KINEROS for the upland watersheds and FLDWAV for the main rivers provides the necessary tools for complete hydraulic modeling of surface waters. Part 2 (Berlamont J.) Time and place: 1st semester, 7 sessions of 3 hours each, K.U.L. Evaluation: Quotation on sample problems Comparable books: Butler D. & Davies J.W. (2000), “Urban drainage”, Spon, London Berlamont J. (1997), “Rioleringen” (in Dutch), Acco, Leuven Learning objectives: The students should be able to design water supply systems and waste-water collection systems using modern commercial software packages (e.g. “Hydroworks” for sewer networks). They should be able to critically evaluate the numerical results. Advanced studies in Water Resources Engineering / 41
