Learning Outcomes
After the successful completion of the course, the students will have:
Understanding of the nature of groundwater flows
Acquisition of knowledge on analytical and numerical simulation of groundwater flows, based on the Darcy law and the continuity equation. Emphasis is placed upon steady state flows towards systems of wells and on the method of images.
Understanding seepage force and piping phenomena.
Understanding of hydrologic cycle and of hydrologic balance.
Acquisition of basic knowledge on rainfall measurement and analysis and on stream flow rates.
Development of calculation skills regarding hydrologic planning of hydraulic works, flood and drought forecast and hydrologic basin simulation.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Design and manage projects
- Respect natural environment
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Soil characteristics. Darcy law. Continuity equation. The mathematical model of groundwater flows. Types of boundaries and boundary conditions. Numerical solution of the mathematical model: Method of finite differences. Confined and free surface flows towards ditches and wells. Systems of wells. Method of images. Seepage force and the effect of piping. Anisotropic and inhomogeneous flow fields. Analogue and physical models.
