Objective:    

Students who complete the module:

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge on complex hydrological, hydraulic, chemical, and biological processes in urban drainage systems.
• Must have knowledge on different numerical models for simulation of relevant complex processes in drainage systems.

Skills

• Must be able to apply commercial models for simulation of relevant processes in drainage systems.
• Must be able to develop and code simple models for simulation of relevant processes in drainage systems.
• Must be able to apply methods for calibration and validation of models.
• Must be able to apply probabilistic methods in order to quantify uncertainties in urban drainage models.

Competences

• Must be able read and understand scientific papers and apply novel methods within urban drainage modelling.
• Be able to compare observations and simulation results and discuss validity of the latter.

Type of instruction

Lectures, etc. supplemented with project work, workshops, presentation seminars, lab tests.
