General information
The accurate formulation of stage-discharge relationships or rating curves is important for reliable planning, design, and management of most flood mitigation and water resources projects. The purpose of this course is to provide information to practising engineers and planners on the methods that are available to develop rating curves, as well as an introduction to innovative methods to collect river flow data. This course will cover:
- an introduction to rating curves and how they can be extended
- simple approaches to the production of rating curves
- the production of ratings curves using the velocity index method
- using one-dimensional hydraulic models to develop rating curves including the use of the Conveyance Estimation System
- an introduction to the use of two- and three-dimensional computational hydraulic models for the development of rating curves
- a demonstration of a boat-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler to collect flow data
- case studies using the Conveyance Estimation System
The learning outcomes from this course are:
- the different types of rating curves and the conditions in which they occur
- the advantages and disadvantages of various rating curve formulation methods
- the use of the Conveyance Estimation System to produce rating curves
