Assumed knowledge
Basic knowledge of groundwater flow theory. First year university level earth sciences.
Topic description
This topic offers the basic knowledge needed to understand and to be able model fluids in motion in porous media (groundwater). Following an introduction to general theoretical aspects of earth fluid dynamics, students focus on flows in porous media with applications of Darcy's Law in several case studies.
Educational aims
This topic aims to introduce students to physical laws applied to describe, understand and predict the behaviour of fluids in motion in porous media.
Expected learning outcomes
On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
- Outline the physical laws that describe fluids in motion in porous media
- Apply constitutive laws of porous media flow using numerical modelling to a wide range of settings
- Apply computational modelling of complex dynamical systems
- Demonstrate enhanced problem-solving, critical-thinking and reasoning abilities
