Course Information

Course ID: ID2020TC No. Instruction Hours: Course Description: This 1-week course combines lectures and computer work sessions to present a one-dimensional flow and transport modeling system developed by the Office of Surface Water. Applications will be presented through the use of realistic example problems. The students will set-up, calibrate, and verify a one dimensional flow model for two different rivers. The transport model will be calibrated and verified under unsteady flow conditions for two rivers using dye data. Nine water quality constituents will be modeled in the Chattahoochee River. Course Title: Modeling Flow & Transport in a Riverine Environment Attendees: Personnel who have little background in modeling but who desire to get started in the area, as well as those with significant experience, should benefit from attendance. Course Discipline: Interdisciplinary Courses in Hydrology Prerequisites: Participants should be familiar with the Data General workstation and use some editing program. An interest in flow hydraulics and water quality modeling is necessary. If students bring their own PCS, they should be able to use at least one editing program and one spread-sheet.
