ENG30008 - Numerical Modelling for Water Resource ManagementInformation for students studying in 2013

Please contact the School of Environment, Science and Engineering to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

This unit introduces students to the use of numerical models for solving realistic problems concerning water flow and storage in catchments, channels, pipes, reservoirs, and aquifers. The principles of numerical modelling are explained. Models are described and used to solve problems for the following water resource related topics: simple modelling of gradually varied flow in both regular and irregular channels; hydrologic runoff models; flood routing through reservoirs; pipe flow network analysis; numerical modelling of transients in pipes; numerical determination of aquifer characteristics from well pumping tests; numerical models for 2D seepage flow through embankments; vertically averaged groundwater flow models.
