Hands-On Modeling Workshops

DESCRIPTION

Get started using advanced numerical modeling by a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on creation and operation of the model. Each course covers one of the following:

• HSPF – watershed hydrology and transport
• EFDC – EPA’s Multi-dimensional flow, sediment transport, and water quality
• ADH – Corps’ Multi-dimensional flow, sediment transport, and water quality
• CONCEPTS – one-dimensional river flow with bed and bank erosion
• EFDC Explorer  – Graphical User Interface for EFDC
• SMS – Graphical User Interface for ADH and others

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Participants will:

• Learn good modeling practice.
• Understand the basic principles used in each model.
• Gain insight into what makes a good model.
• Get hands-on experience setting up, running, and trouble-shooting the model.
• Gain ideas on how to present model results to non-modelers.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
The course will be useful to those who are new to modeling or fairly experienced in other models, such as HEC-RAS, and who want to learn how to use a new model properly.
COURSE BENEFITS

• Gain valuable modeling know-how for your organization.
• Increase your worth to the organization with new skills.
• Obtain a new tool for your projects.
• Earn PDH.
