What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and groundwater hydraulics: from continuum assumption, governing equations and boundary layers to basic models of flow in the pore space. In the end you will be able to perform Navier–Stokes related calculations, characterize flow fields, and calculate simple groundwater flows (e.g., well flow).

What you will be able to do

  • Determine forces on boundary-layer flows and calculate energy losses in pipes
  • Explain the continuum concept in fluid mechanics
  • Understand the phenomenology of turbulent flows and turbulent boundary layers
  • Grasp fundamental terms and scale issues in groundwater hydraulics
  • Apply Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible fluids to selected cases
  • Differentiate between scales of groundwater hydraulics and dominating equations
  • Characterize flow fields using streamlines, pathlines, streaklines as well as deformation and rotation tensors
  • Determine similarity numbers for a given system and examine the influence, e.g., of the Reynolds number
  • Estimate forces, pressures, or velocities for traversed volumes
  • Compute flows in aquifers for various cases (including well flow, confined/unconfined)

What the module consists of

  • Vorlesung FluidmechanikConveying the theoretical foundations (conservation laws, fundamental equations, analytical derivations)
  • Vorlesung GrundwasserhydraulikAnalytical description of groundwater flow and numerical solution approaches (MatLab demonstrations)
  • voluntary seminar (90 min.)joint solving of problem sheets and review of the lecture (moderated)
  • voluntary term papersApplication of what has been learned to selected, smaller problems for self-check of learning success

Teaching method

  • Blackboard lecture and derivationsallows step-by-step derivation of theoretical relationships and conservation laws
  • Computer presentationscomplement derivations and illustrate relationships
  • Examples and problem sheetsshow the application of derived relations and serve practice and deepening
  • MatLab/Demonstrations in the groundwater hydraulics lectureVisualization and discussion of numerical solution approaches
  • e-Learning, videos, scriptssupport self-study and review
