Hydraulic models are a commonly used tool to investigate many environmental issues such as flood risk, fluvial geomorphology, and habitat creation. Many environmentalists are faced with the prospect of commissioning hydraulic modelling or interpreting model results without background knowledge.

This course aims to demystify hydraulic modeling for non-modellers, providing delegates with the necessary skills to specify a suitable modelling approach and better understand the underlying assumptions in modelling when interpreting model results.

Course Objectives:

Understand the different types of modelling available

Know the underlying assumptions behind hydraulic modelling

Understand when certain model types are suitable and what their limitations are

Know how to specify hydraulic models at the tender stage

Have an appreciation of model scale and uncertainty

The structure of the course comprises a series of presentations, discussions, and worked examples.
