Advanced Hydraulics Training

Date: September 17, 2008
Time: 9:00-5:00
Room: Mesa C, Hilton Santa Fe

Training Class Schedule

Session I

9:00 – 9:30
Why Model Flows in 3D?

Engineering methods commonly used for hydraulic design will be evaluated and their strengths and weakness identified.  The benefits of using FLOW-3D in hydraulics design will be demonstrated.

Session II

9:30 – 10:00
Development of Rating Curves

The definition and use of different boundary conditions will be discussed, and a rating curve for a hydraulic structure will be developed.

Session III

10:00 – 10:45

Stream Restoration

Velocity mapping techniques, to determine the likelihood of sediment movement, will be introduced and used to assess the efficacy of different stream restoration schemes.

10:45 – 11:00 BREAK

Session IV

11:00 – 12:00

Simulating Biological Processes

Chemical kinetics and scalar transport models will be used to simulate macronutrient balances in an ecosystem.

12:00 – 1:30 LUNCH

Session V

1:30 – 2:30

Simulating Mixing and Thermal Buoyancy in an Outfall Design

A CFD model of a thermal discharge will be constructed and the approach validated with the aid of the CORMIX computer program.

Session VI

2:30 – 2:45

Forces on Structures

The approach used to calculate fluid forces on structures using FLOW-3D  will be reviewed, and the method will be used to determine the proper ballasting of an underwater sensor array.

Session VII

2:45 – 3:15

Stability of Floating Structures

The stability of floating structures will be studied using FLOW-3D’s General Moving Objects capability.

3:15 – 3:30 BREAK

Session VIII

3:30 –3:45
Modeling Linear and Non-linear Waves

Session IX

3:45 – 4:45
