Hydraulic modeling is a research area that involves the study of the behavior of water in natural or engineered systems. This includes the flow of water in rivers, streams, and oceans, as well as in pipes and other conduits in engineered systems such as water treatment plants and irrigation systems. Hydraulic modeling typically involves the use of computer software to simulate the behavior of water in these systems, allowing researchers to analyze and predict how water will flow under different conditions. This research is important for a wide range of applications, including flood forecasting, water resource management, and the design of infrastructure such as dams and levees.
