Overview
This course aims to help participants understand energy losses associated with the contraction and expansion of water flow at structures. The learning outcomes include grasping the concept of form losses, exploring 1D, 2D, and 3D modeling approaches, studying constrictions, analyzing the impact of piers using fine mesh and form losses, and examining bridge decks. The course teaches skills in modeling energy losses and turbulence in water flow. The teaching method involves a webinar format with a presentation by an industry expert, followed by a Q&A session. This course is intended for professionals in the water industry seeking to enhance their knowledge of structure loss theory.
