 Course Introduction

This course is organised by the IAHR Working Group on Transient Flows under the new IAHR Training Courses Series. The course programme has been designed to cover a broad selection of numerical modelling software for transient flows in pressurized systems. First an introduction to the basic background theory and modelling assumptions laying beneath standard engineering software are provided. Then a series of commercial and non-commercial software, open-access, freeware and payware, are presented showcasing their applicability by means of insightful case studies based on a variety of hydraulic systems such as hydropower schemes, water supply systems and industrial flows. The course completes with an open discussion convening the main takeaways on the role and limitations on the use of modelling software towards the design, protection, operation and maintenance of hydraulic systems affected by transient flows.

 Learning goals 

Upon completion, the participant should be able to: 

• Familiarise with the basic theory and assumptions laying beneath hydraulic modelling software for pressurised transient flows. 

• Develop critical thinking in the selection of best-suited software.

• Become aware of the limitations of standard modelling software.

• Comprehend when specialized expertise is required to simulate phenomena beyond the scope of standard engineering problems.

 For whom

The course is intended to hydraulic engineers interested in the design, operation, maintenance of hydraulic systems, including hydropower, industrial and urban water infrastructure.
