This course explores the equations hidden inside hydraulic modeling programs, focusing on the Saint-Venant shallow water equations. The learning outcomes include understanding conservation principles, implicit vs. explicit solutions, and the significance of the Courant Number. The course teaches skills in finite difference, finite element, and finite volume analyses. The teaching method includes presentations, discussions, and Q&A sessions. The intended audience includes professionals and students interested in hydrology, hydraulics, and hydraulic modeling.
