AE2602 Applied Hydrology 7.5 credits

Hydrologic processes: pricipitation, evaporation, infiltration etc

Subsurface flow: saturated and unsaturated flow

Surface water: overland flow, open channel flow, hydrographs

Lumped and distributed flow routing, SaintVenants equations, the kinematic wave

Hydrologic desig, risk analysis

After the course you should be able to:

• Describe the processes in the hydrologic cycle (precipitation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, surface runoff etc )
• Solve problems dealing with water balance, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, hydrogrpahs, infiltration, reservoar design, frequency analysi,s hydrologic design, risk analysis and more
• Describe lumped and distributed flow routing and solve Saint Venants equations analyticallyand numerically for the kinematic wave
• Apply a numerical model for steady, non unform open channel flow
• Model a system of linear reservoirs

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Written examination (TEN1; 3,5 hp), A-F and assignments (ÖVN1; 4hp), Pass/Fail

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
