Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper covers advanced hydrology and hydraulics for civil engineering and modelling techniques. The first part includes methodologies of hydrological data analysis, rainfall-runoff modelling, hydrologic and hydraulic flood routing, flood plain analysis and planning. The second part includes loose boundary hydraulics from the river and coastal engineering perspectives, e.g. fluvial sediment transport, scour and erosion processes, coastal wave theories and morphological characteristics, shoreline evolution and protection, etc.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. An explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf

Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper includes two main parts.

The first part focuses on

  • the preparation of geospatial data for creating shapefiles and visualisations,
  • advanced hydrology and mechanisms of surface runoff,
  • development of catchment models, and
  • flood routing and hydraulic models of flood plains.

The second part focuses on

  • advanced knowledge in loose boundary hydraulics in rivers,
  • prediction of fluvial sediment transport and scour and erosion phenomena,
  • fundamental of wave theories in coastal and offshore regions, and
  • coastal sediment transport under wave actions

Learning Outcomes

Edit Learning Outcomes Content

Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:

  • 1. Develop an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of surface runoff, catchment models, flood routing and stormwater analysis. (WA1, 2, 3, 5)
    will be assessed by the project, test 1 and final exam.
    Linked to the following assessments:
    • Test 1 (1)
    • Project (2)
    • Exam (6)
  • 2. Applying modern tools (i.e. ArcGIS and HEC-RAS) to develop, validate and apply advanced hydrologic and hydraulic models for solving water engineering problems (WA 2, 3, 5, 7, 10)
    will be assessed by the project.
    Linked to the following assessments:
    • Project (2)
  • 3. Gain in-depth knowledge in flow mechanism and sediment transport in both fluvial and coastal environments, master the basic methods for assessing loose boudary conditions (WA 1, 2, 3, 5)
    Will be assessed by lab reports, Test 2 and the Final Exam.
    Linked to the following assessments:
    • Lab report 1 (3)
    • Test 2 (4)
    • Exam (6)
  • 4. Applying systematic approaches to evaluate the stability of river channels and shorelines, predict their short- and long-term evolution, and assess the potential environmental and societal impacts (WA 2, 3, 5, 7, 10)
    Linked to the following assessments:
    • Test 2 (4)
    • Lab report 2 (5)

Project and lab reports

The reports are expected to include the following materials: original data and models, graphs and analysis, and an interpretation of the results presented. Marking rubrics will be provided.

Tests

There will be two closed-book face-to-face tests.

Exam

The final exam will cover the whole trimester’s lecture material. It will be a closed-book face-to-face exam.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt-out.
