About

1D and 2D hydraulic models ignore vertical effects with depth-averaging. This interactive webinar covers the inherent assumptions in 3D models along with best practices, data needs, hardware, and software options for assessing hydraulic structures.

This free webinar is an introduction to the upcoming live course on using the free and open source software, OpenFOAM. In this course, our expert presenters will provide you with the necessary tools, allowing you to step through the process of developing a basic 3D model of a hydraulic structure in real time.
