Hydrodynamics and Applied Hydraulics, Flood Risks

As part of this course unit, students will be expected to: - (1) combine the analysis of hydrodynamic measurements with hydrochemical or geophysical data collected in situ; - (2) process and analyze this data using appropriate software; - (3) to interpret this data by integrating the knowledge acquired in the courses “Fieldwork,” “Hydrogeophysics,” “Water Quality and Microbiology,” and “Subsurface Hydrodynamics.”

This course unit will include a brief theoretical introduction, followed by hands-on instruction in a dedicated classroom (Hydraulics Hall) and a field trip designed to help students connect the various concepts of hydrodynamics and hydraulics in the context of setting up a water collection and treatment system for drinking water supply.

The objective of this course unit is to integrate all the knowledge of hydrogeology acquired during the first and second semesters of the M1 program in order to apply it to the interpretation of hydrodynamic and hydrochemical data collected in the field. Various methods for determining flow dynamics (measurement of flow rates, head losses, etc.) as well as the pumping systems to be used for water resource management will also be covered through specific experiments on a test bench.
