There are no University courses in hydraulic modelling. This course supplements and reinforces on-the-job training. It sets the scene for a step-by-step approach to completing projects.
A major issue for graduate modellers is that they are prone to “forget” key modelling steps that they did not realise they had to do. These include how to check hydrological models actually makes sense or whether the total catchment area is actually in the model.
This course comprehensively goes through every element and includes a case study that starts with a blank piece of paper.
Elements include
- Understanding your software needs
- Distilling what the client actually wants
- Structuring your data management
- Building models and designing simulation routines
- Developing a reporting standard that saves time
- Preparing for peer reviews
Who Should Attend
Modellers with less than two years experience
Engineers who do modelling on a part-time basis but need to keep pace with the industry
Non-modellers who want to understand the processes for when they review work
