Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Objective:
Students who complete the module:
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Shall have knowledge on how numerical methods and experiments
methods complement each other and how to use experimental data to
improve numerical models.
- Shall have knowledge on how uncertainties are associated to
each method and how they can be analyzed.
Skills
- Be able to measure, model, analyze and visualize fluid dynamics
and transport of substances in soluble or particle form.
- Understand key methods for measuring water and turbulent
transport.
- Calculate currents and turbulent transport with commercial
available models.
- Develop independent numerical models.
- Plan and carry out the measurement program for field and
laboratory measurements.
- Analyze errors and uncertainties in the measurement and
modelling in natural or environmental engineering
systems.
Competences
- Be able to combine experimental data and numerical methods to
develop better models within the area of water and
environment.
- To structure and produce technical documentation of complex
problems, methods and results.
- Present and communicate results in a web-based media.
- Must be able to contribute successfully to teamwork within the
problem area and make a common presentation of the result of the
project work.
Type of instruction
Project work with supervision supplemented with instructions,
workshops, presentation seminars, lab tests, etc.
