General description and objectives (September to January - level Master 2)

Urban hydraulic networks represent an important engineering activity. Whether they are drinking water networks, sewerage networks or canalized rivers, they represent a major challenge for project owners in the management and regulation of public water and sewerage services. 

One of the vocations of the water and environmental engineer is the control of these networks from a hydraulic point of view in the design office or in operation.

The core of this semester is the simulation of structures and networks through modelling  (1D, 2D and 3D) at all scales in sanitation, drinking water and rivers.

Coordinator: José Vazquez

      - Design of the mesh 

      - Choice of the turbulence model 

      - Choice of the two-phase model 

      - Choice of the solid transport model 

      - Choice of the dissolved transport model 

      - Choice of boundary conditions adapted to the structure 

      - Analysis of the results

      S9 MODASS - Advanced Modelling for Sanitation

      The learner will master the 1D modelling of classical hydraulic structures in sanitation within the framework of hydraulics, solid and dissolved transport. All the stages of modelling a sanitation network are reviewed: the objective of the study, the criticism of the data and the correct use of a simulation tool. The objectives are to provide answers to the questions that an engineer must ask himself before modelling (why? which tool? What data?..., during the modelling work (what are the essential steps?...) and after the model has been developed (what are the limits? in what situations can or cannot the model be used?...).

      Investigations and geotechnical studies specific to foundations: The objective of this course is to develop the theoretical approach necessary to secure a foundation. 

      Construction of networks  

      - A part devoted to the techniques of installation of networks (formwork, trenches, compaction...) 

      - A part dedicated to the calculation and implementation of the roadway (implementation, load transfer calculation, geosynthetic).

      S9 GESPAT - Management of Potable Water Stewardship and Sanitation

      The student will acquire the general principles of infrastructure asset management and its application to water networks on the one hand, and to sewerage networks on the other, and will be led to construct a global reflection in terms of technical, economic and social sustainability, starting from the network approaches towards a more integrated approach to urban water management. 

      The “mini-project” will allow taking into account all the dimensions of asset management

      S9 PROTUT - Tutored Projects

      The tutored project is a group work (3 students per team) carried out by 3rd year student-engineers that responds to a professional problem of a company or community on a wide variety of subjects. A teacher-researcher supervises the students' work to guarantee the scientific validity of the project. The project is monitored jointly by the company and the school.

      An agreement signed between the company/community and the school frames the scheme.

      Skills :

      - Implement and deepen your skills in a professional context in group work 

      - Work on a project to understand and respond to a business need 

      - Project management: identification of deliverables, tasks, blocking points, management of project progress

      - Become aware of innovation
