Summary

This course contains two components. The first is a series of lectures on Numerical Methods, which are of general applicability, especially to civil engineering applications. There are a number of Tutorial problems in Excel.

That is followed by lectures on Computational Open Channel Hydraulics. At the moment there is only one tutorial, on the Gradually-varied-flow equation: GVFE Tutorial. That will be augmented in the next weeks.
