My contribution to the curriculum Master of Environmental Engineering

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kinzelbach

What I offer in the Master program

Numerical hydraulics Groundwater II (Groundwater modelling) Master project Master thesis

Numerical Hydraulics
Contents Basic equations Pressure surges in pipes Flood waves in rivers Pollutant transport in rivers Temperature modelling of rivers Exercises using the computer 2 hours per week

Numerical Hydraulics
Software Matlab Programs which have to be completed or modified Hydraulic System HECRAS Flumen

Numerical Hydraulics
Goal Understand phenomena and theory Be able to solve problems with software Appreciate that knowledge of the theoretical background of programs is a prerequisite for the correct use (e.g. boundary conditions, discretization rules etc.)

Groundwater II (Groundwater Modelling)

Contents Basic equations (flow, transport) FD and FE methods for flow (3D) FD, FE, MOC and RW methods for transport Geostatistics and stochastic modelling Density driven flows Multiphase flow Reactive transport 4 hours per week including computer lab

Groundwater II (Groundwater Modelling)

Software PMWIN Feflow Matlab/Exel programs for geostatistics SEAWAT Of the 4 hours per week, 2 are devoted to hands-on exercises on the computer

Groundwater II (Groundwater Modelling)

Goal Understand phenomena and theory Be able to solve problems with software Appreciate that knowledge of the theoretical background of programs is a prerequisite for the correct use (e.g. boundary conditions, discretization rules etc.)
