The HYDRAULIC AND HYDROLOGICAL RISK course, consisting of the modules "APPLIED HYDROLOGY" and "RIVER AND MARITIME HYDRAULICS", intends to provide the elements necessary to conduct hydrological and hydraulic studies to support the design of works.
The RIVER AND MARITIME HYDRAULICS module provides notions of fluid mechanics and river and maritime hydraulics.
The APPLIED HYDROLOGY module provides criteria and technical guidelines for the verification and evaluation of flow rates and flood hydrograms.
The module of RIVER AND MARITIME HYDRAULICS provides basic notions of fluid mechanics and river and maritime hydraulics. In the first part of the course, the fundamental notions of fluid mechanics will be introduced, deriving the equations of motion and discussing some simple but fundamental solutions. Furthermore, notions of turbulence will be introduced. In the second part of the course free surface motions will be discussed, with particular reference to river and maritime environments.
The module of APPLIED HYDROLOGY aims to provide students with the tools for verifying and evaluating flow rates and flood hydrograms. Detailed hydrological studies or statistical methods for hydrology and numerical modelling applications for hydrology are addressed during the teaching.
Ricevimento: It is possible to fix an appointment with the teacher by sending an e-mail message to: paolo.blondeaux@unige.it
Ricevimento: The office hours are scheduled according to the specific student requirement. Students can contact Prof. Palla via e-mail or via Teams to arrange a face-to-face interview or an online reception.
