Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit is an optional subject that intends to transmit advanced knowledge in the area of Fluvial Hydraulics. The overall objective is to consolidate and deepen knowledge in the field of river systems assessment and their modeling.
The following competences will be developed:
a) Ability on the state of the art research in river systems
b) Knowledge of the main mechanisms of sediment transport and its interaction with the flow and the movable bed
c) Knowledge the main measures of erosion and sedimentation control
d) Ability of the procedures for the formulation of physical models of river systems
e) Knowledge of the numeric tools required for modeling of flow in river systems
