TELEMAC Summer School
TELEMAC is an open-source software suite for modelling free surface waters using unstructured mesh finite element models. Aimed at consultants, researchers and students who are working on riverine, coastal and maritime hydrodynamic modelling projects, this course gives an insight to the hydrodynamic tools available in the TELEMAC suite.
Our training courses & webinars
Breach modelling: why, when and how? |
Webinar |
This webinar introduces a physically based breach model, the EMBREA model. We will describe the various features of the model showing the significance of looking at the embankment design detail, the associated variations in failure processes and how this can significantly affect the consequences. |
Coastal processes and management |
Training course |
This introductory course, relevant to engineers, coastal landowners, regulators and operating authorities; explores the history, processes and modelling of changes at the coastline. Delegates will gain practical advice that can be directly implemented into the design methods for coastal engineering and management schemes. |
Dredging management |
Training course |
An overview of the environmental aspects of dredging, the latest technology and equipment that apply to dredging and the management of dredged material. |
Gas modelling with HR Wallingford |
Webinar |
From master planning to real time and forecasting simulations. |
Introduction to hydrology, hydraulics and flood risk management |
Training course |
An ideal course for those involved in river, tidal and coastal flood risk it introduces related aspects such as flood risk measures, natural flood management, sustainable urban drainage, scheme assessments, and climate change. The course focus is more towards river and urban flooding, whilst also introducing the key principles and considerations for tidal and coastal flooding. |
Marine scour |
Training course |
This course explores the theory and method for analysing scour in a range of marine environments. It gives an introduction to procedures for assessing scour risk at marine structures as well as appropriate use of scour countermeasures through a combination of theory, practical sessions and classroom discussion. |
QGIS for flood risk management |
Training course |
This online course is designed to provide a solid foundation in using QGIS for flood risk management. |
River modelling & drainage design for flood risk assessment & management |
Training course |
This course will benefit those responsible for reviewing hydrological estimation and river modelling outputs as part of Flood Risk Assessments, and for evaluating and approving conceptual drainage designs and surface water management plans for new developments. It helps participants understand the fundamental hydrological and hydraulic modelling issues necessary for the delivery of robust flood risk and drainage impact assessments / conceptual drainage designs. |
SuDS: standards, guidance and design tools |
Training course |
A guide to the basis and requirements of current criteria and methods for delivering compliant surface water management systems. |
TELEMAC summer school |
Training course |
TELEMAC is an open-source software suite for modelling free surface waters using unstructured mesh finite element models. Aimed at consultants, researchers and students who are working on riverine, coastal and maritime hydrodynamic modelling projects, this course gives an insight to the hydrodynamic tools available in the TELEMAC suite. |
Wave action on coastal structures |
Training course |
This course is designed for those who need to be able to anticipate and/or predict the response of coastal structures to wave action. It teaches the theory and methods necessary for delivering alternative solutions to coastal problems. |
Wave overtopping |
Training course |
This course provides guidance on analysis and/or prediction of wave overtopping for flood defences attacked by wave action. It introduces the EurOtop manual and presents established and new techniques to predict wave overtopping at seawalls, flood embankments, breakwaters and other shoreline structures. |
Waves and wave modelling using SWAN |
Training course |
This course provides a summary of the theory related to wave transformation. Delivering a hands-on introduction to setting up and running SWAN, including pre- and post-processing, it is aimed at both students and professionals, and no previous experience of running computational wave models is required. |
