- For extensions starting with 3: dial +64 7 2620 + the last 3 digits of the extension e.g. 3123 = +64 7 262 0123.
What this paper is about
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
How this paper will be taught
This paper includes two main parts.
The first 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
The second part focuses on
- advanced hydrology and mechanisms of surface runoff,
- development of catchment models, and
- flood routing and hydraulic models of flood plains.
The workload is as below:

Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessments
How you will be assessed
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.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.
