Students learn how to make field measurements and how to analyze the results. In addition, the engineering and practical handling of the system flow is taught.
The lecture consists of the following topics:
- Hystorical overview - river system (river morphology (channel width, basic layouts, meanders, alluvial cone, deltas, torrents, regimes, banks, etc.))
- Hydraulic calculation approaches
- River Engineering Projects
- Topographical recordings
- Water level measurements
- Charakteristic bed material
- Sediment transport: start of transport, bed forms, transport of sediment and suspendend matter (calculation, measurement, mathematical models etc)
- Reservoir sedimentation and release measures
- Scouring
- Correction measures (longitudinal structures)
- Channel stabilization (transverse structures)
- Measures of erosion and deposition
- Transverse structures (swell, ramps, traverses)
- watercourses model
- 1d, 2d, examples
- Flood control systems
- Flood protection engineering: emergence of floods; measures against floods (active, passive flood protection)
- Fundamentals of metrology in the fields
- Practical measurements (flow velocities, discharge, sediment, evaluation and presentation of the results)
