After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• set up a 1D numerical flow simulation for a river and to calibrate and validate it.
• recherche available hydarulic and geometric data and to implement it in the model.
• self-organise teamwork in a small group.
• disseminate results in an oral presentation and through a written report.
  

The participants are sensitized to practical problems in developing flow modes and to the needs for quality control.

The exercise is comprised of:

• Set-up and running a 1D flow model in steps of increasing complexity.
• Transfer of fundamental hydraulic knowledge into a flow model.
• Validation and critical analyses of model results.
• Presentation and reports of model results.
• Team work.
  

see German version and timetable above

The exercise takes place ONLY in the WINTER SEMESTER, as provided in the curriculum!

Important Information for absolving the KW-Übung:

The exercise will be solved self-sustained on a WINDOWS-computer, including model setup, data recherche, report and presentation writing.

HECRAS is freeware. To help you with installing and running HECRAS, a scriptum and tutorial videos will be supplied. There will be no additional lectures for the KW-Übung.

Basic knowledge in hydraulics and hydraulic engineering is required and will not be repeated within the Übung.

A maximum of 20 point is achievable. A minimum of 10 points is required for successful termination.

Basic knowledge in hydraulics and hydraulic engineering is required and will not be repeated within the Übung.

The work will be carried out on computers (Windows only - please make use of the TU PC workstations, in case you don't have a private computer/laptop), including model-set up, data recherche, report writing and presentation design. The knowledge and use of appropriate software for these tasks is being expected.
