Comment décrire l’écoulement d’une rivière ou d’un fleuve ? Quelle influence un rétrécissement local ou une pile de pont dans la rivière peuvent-ils avoir sur le niveau d’eau ? Quels aménagements vont permettre de limiter les impacts d’événements naturels tels qu’une crue ou une inondation sur la population et les villes avoisinantes ? Autant de questions qui reflètent l’importance de la compréhension du fonctionnement des cours d’eau.

Face aux enjeux majeurs liés à la problématique de l’eau, ce MOOC en hydraulique à surface libre va vous donner des clés pour comprendre les écoulements et leurs interactions avec l’environnement. Cette compréhension joue un rôle primordial pour assurer une gestion responsable et concevoir des aménagements qui permettent de tirer profit des cours d’eau tout en préservant l’environnement des impacts négatifs.

Ce cours résulte d’une collaboration entre experts de plusieurs universités. Durant les quatre semaines de cours, vous serez confrontés à la modélisation des écoulements à surface libre, en allant de l’écoulement uniforme aux écoulements graduellement et brusquement variés avec les ressauts hydrauliques. Vous apprendrez à déterminer l’influence que peuvent avoir des singularités locales sur le niveau d’eau, comme des rétrécissements ou la présence de piles de pont.

Au fil des séquences, notions théoriques s’alterneront avec applications concrètes sur des sites haïtiens, français et suisses. Afin de consolider vos connaissances, vous serez encouragés à répondre à différents questionnaires ou à interagir concrètement avec les autres participants.

Ce cours peut ensuite être complété par le cours « Hydraulique fluviale 2 –Sédiments et morphologie fluviale ».

Pourquoi le lit de la rivière présente-t-il des zones d’érosion et de dépôts ? Comment la rivière évolue-t-elle au fil du temps, parfois de manière très rapide et catastrophique ? L’Homme est-il capable, et a-t-il intérêt à maîtriser les rivières ? Autant de questions qui reflètent l’importance de la compréhension du fonctionnement des rivières.

Face aux enjeux majeurs liés à la problématique de l’eau et plus particulièrement à la gestion durable des rivières, ce MOOC en hydraulique fluviale va vous donner des clés pour comprendre l’équilibre et l’évolution des rivières et leurs interactions avec l’environnement. Cette compréhension joue un rôle primordial pour assurer une gestion responsable de la rivière qui permette d’en tirer profit tout en préservant l’environnement de ses impacts négatifs.

Ce cours résulte d’une collaboration entre experts de plusieurs universités. Durant les quatre semaines de cours, vous serez confrontés successivement à l’étude des sédiments et du transport solide, à la caractérisation morphologique des rivières et aux conséquences – parfois inattendues – des travaux fluviaux.

Au fil des séquences, notions théoriques s’alterneront avec applications concrètes, notamment sur des sites haïtiens et suisses. Afin de consolider vos connaissances, vous serez encouragés à répondre à différents questionnaires ou à interagir concrètement avec les autres participants.

En fonction de votre degré de connaissances dans ce domaine, ce cours peut être précédé de « Hydraulique fluviale 1 – Écoulements à surface libre », qui lui est prérequis.

This course covers the development of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and their simplifications for several areas of marine hydrodynamics and the application of these principles to the solution of engineering problems. Topics include the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy, lift and drag forces, laminar and turbulent flows, dimensional analysis, added mass, and linear surface waves, including wave velocities, propagation phenomena, and descriptions of real sea waves. Wave forces on structures are treated in the context of design and basic seakeeping analysis of ships and offshore platforms. Geophysical fluid dynamics will also be addressed including distributions of salinity, temperature, and density; heat balance in the ocean; major ocean circulations and geostrophic flows; and the influence of wind stress. Experimental projects conducted in ocean engineering laboratories illustrating concepts taught in class, including ship resistance and model testing, lift and drag forces on submerged bodies, and vehicle propulsion.

This course develops the theory and design of hydrofoil sections, including lifting and thickness problems for sub-cavitating sections, unsteady flow problems, and computer-aided design of low drag cavitation-free sections. It also covers lifting line and lifting surface theory with applications to hydrofoil craft, rudder, control surface, propeller and wind turbine rotor design. Other topics include computer-aided design of wake adapted propellers; steady and unsteady propeller thrust and torque; performance analysis and design of wind turbine rotors in steady and stochastic wind; and numerical principles of vortex lattice and lifting surface panel methods. Projects illustrate the development of computational methods for lifting, propeller and wind turbine flows, and use of state-of-the-art simulation methods for lifting, propulsion and wind turbine applications.

A flow is called hypersonic if the Mach number is greater than 5. This means that the flow speed is more than five times the speed of sound. In air at room temperature, the speed of sound is around 340 m/s, so a Mach 5 flow would have a flow speed of 1.7 km/s or just over 6,000 km/h. When a rocket launches a satellite into earth orbit, when a probe enters the atmosphere of another planet or when an aircraft is propelled by a supersonic combustion ramjet engine (a scramjet), hypersonic flows are encountered. Hypersonics – from Shock Waves to Scramjets introduces the basic concepts associated with flight at speeds greater than Mach 5 and takes students to the stage where they can analyse the performance of a scramjet engine that might be used in a future access-to-space system.

Become A Hypnotist In 2 Hours

When you meet a new person, it is hard to know what to expect.  You may not be able to read the person or understand what they mean. Even if you want to have a good relationship with them, this lack of understanding can make interactions tense, unpredictable and scary! The same is true for a lot of people as they encounter statistics and mathematical ways of working with data.  Statistics can be confusing and opaque.  Symbols, Greek letters, very large and very small numbers, and how to interpret all of this can leave to feeling cold and disengaged—even fearful and resentful.

But in the modern information age, having a healthy relationship with statistics can make life a whole lot easier. We are constantly faced with an onslaught of data and claims about it—from news articles, to Facebook and blog posts, casual and professional conversations, reports at our workplace, advertising, and claims from politicians and public officials. How can we process that information, make sense of it, evaluate truth claims, and put ourselves in a position to act on the information?  One of the most important ways is by befriending statistics and consistently using statistical ways of thinking.
 
The purpose of this course, then is to help you develop a functional, satisfying, and useful life-long relationship with statistics. To achieve that goal, we will take a non-technical approach—you will learn how statistics work and why they are so helpful in evaluating the world of information that is around us. You will learn about the logic of statistical thinking and the concepts (rather than the mathematical details and probability theory) that guide statistical inferences and conclusions.
 
You do not need to be a math whiz to take this course. If you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide (or just be able to use a calculator to do that!), you will be more than able to handle what will happen as this relationship develops.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Identify the most important features of a data set
• Select a statistical test based on the features of the data
• Think like a statistical detective
• Understand the relationship between two different characteristics or variables
• Perform some simple statistical calculations and draw some conclusions from real data
• Hopefully, love stats! 

We’ll do all of this using entertaining examples related to real-life situations we all encounter in everyday life.
