AbstractThis lecture includes (1) Scientific writing in water sciences, and (2) hydraulic model techniques.
The first part gives an insight in current technical paper writing.
In the second part (optional) bases of the similitude laws and their limitations are presented discussed with examples relevant in hydraulic practice.
ObjectivePossibilities and limitations of experimental and numerical modeling in hydraulic engineering, advantages of hybride modeling technique using a simultaneous application of the two former methods.
ContentHydraulic modeling
Model laws
Dimensional analysis
Limitations of hydraulic models
Experimental methods
Examples

Numerical modeling
Governing equations
Accuarcy and stability of numerical models
Examples of 1D and 2D models for one- and two-phase flows
Lecture notesThe manuscript will be distributed partially during the first lecture, further information follows in further lectures
LiteratureThe relevant books and citations are given in the corresponding chapters.
Prerequisites / NoticeExcercises using hydraulic models of VAW, and numerical models at computers.
