Course Objective

The advent of elaborate computers enabled the solution of complicated hydromechanics problems whose solution was very difficult and time consuming. The hydraulic systems with complex boundary conditions are analyzed with finite difference techniques. The required fundamentals are provided in order to solve some groundwater problems by means of the finite elements method. Additionally the basic principles of the finite volumes method are explained by using simple illustrative examples.
