Process and simulation of hydraulic transfers

This course is based on the analysis of the processes carried out during the "Field camp" course, as well as on the data acquired there. It aims at developing a simulation approach in response to a finalized question. It consists of several phases:
- Experimental study in the laboratory and in the field: measurement of a water line, of a hydraulic propagation dynamic
- Realization of a simple numerical model (resolution of differential equation of order 1)
- Implementation of a model (description of topology-geometry, hydraulic scenarios in steady state and transient,
calibration, simulation of scenarios
- Design of a hydraulic management scenario, implementation on a miniature network in the form of a role-play: calculation of delay time, calibration of rating curves, identification of attenuation and delay dynamics, management of control structures, evaluation of hydraulic performance.

The objective is to deepen the understanding and representation of the processes governing water flows and water quality in water transport systems (natural streams, irrigation or drainage canals/ditches, irrigation ditches...).

The first objective is the knowledge of propagation and flow processes in water bodies, and their interactions with substrates (vegetation, sediments).

The second objective is to know how to mobilize this knowledge in order to implement modeling tools to represent and analyze these processes at various scales of time and space, with the aim of

(i) understanding mechanisms

(ii) analysis and design of water resource management strategies. The targeted application objects are hydro-agricultural schemes for irrigation and drainage and watersheds.
