Università Roma Tre

The objective of the course of Environmental Hydraulics is the knowledge of atmospheric and marine/oceanic flows at a meso and large scale and with and without stratification. The course aims at developing the skills needed for the development of suitable schemes and mathematical models simulating environmental hydraulics phenomena. In addition, the course aims at improving the knowledge of the numerical and experimental models used to simulate such flows.
The course is part of the master degree course in “Civil Engineering for Natural Hazard Mitigation” which aims at training a civil engineer with high professional qualification in the territory and civil works protection from hydrogeological and seismic risks.
The course aims at defining conceptual models with different complexity levels for the simulations of atmospheric and marine/oceanic flows.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to: understand the complex dynamics of atmospheric and marine/oceanic flows occurring at different spatial scales with and without stratification; select the suitable models for the simulation of the different flows; understand and use the data obtained by laboratory and /or numerical experiments simulating stratified flows.
