Advanced Hydraulic Engineering Project 4 (U00433)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : EEL-4-CVAHP

This course is project based. The project is based on the taught hydraulics course. The brief includes appropriate starting references and students are required to study individually using the internet, the library and any other available source information to accomplish the specified task. The course focuses on the study and evaluation of alternative approaches to water surface profile evaluation in relation to design flood estimation for two rivers with quite different characteristics. This is done through application of flood routing software.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

The project is intended to be undertaken largely by personal study. It requires students to research the subject area sufficiently to enable them to critically evaluate simplifications of the St Venant equations. The student must identify the limitations associated with different modelling approaches.
