Description
The use of physical models remains an integral part of proving the design of many hydraulic structures, often leading to savings in construction costs, improved efficiency and safety, and avoidance of future operational problems. Mathematical models are also essential to the design of new hydraulics, particularly for the study of large systems or the effect of a structure on a large system. The limitations of mathematical models are continuously decreasing as the power of computers and computational techniques increases, however, the need for cross-validation, either from physical models or from field data, remains.
