Physical Hydraulic Modelling: Principles, Applications, and Scaling

Explore the world of physical hydraulic modelling in this informative webinar. Embark on a guided tour of the world's largest physical hydraulic model in the USA, delve into the principles of Froude scaling using Danish Minifigures, and discover how innovative physical models constructed in Australian lab facilities can benefit computer model calibration. Learn about the complexities of visualizing hydraulic characteristics through physical models, understand the challenges of up-scaling, and explore the mathematical adjustments needed to account for scale effects resulting from force ratio differences. Gain insights into when and how measurements from physical models can effectively guide hydraulic designs. The webinar covers topics such as the Mississippi River Basin Model, physical small-scale wave basins, and various aspects of physical hydraulic modelling, concluding with a Q&A session and information on upcoming training opportunities.
