Course Details
CE-QUAL-W2 is a longitudinal/vertical, unsteady hydrodynamic and water quality model. This model has been successfully applied in numerous applications, ranging from steeply sloping rivers to deep reservoirs and narrow estuaries. This workshop, presented by Portland State University, provides a thorough review of the background of the model’s water quality, hydrodynamic, and numerical algorithms; computer laboratory sessions for setting up and running the model; and a day where case studies of CE-QUAL-W2 applications will be presented. This workshop is designed for biologists, hydrologists; geologists; engineers; chemists; city, state, and federal regulators; site planners and project managers; compliance/regulatory program managers for industry; and technical experts. Some technical background and experience in surface water quality problems is presumed. Lectures have been prepared covering the following topics:
Water quality modeling
Hydrodynamic modeling
CE-QUAL-W2 governing equations
CE-QUAL-W2 model structure
CE-QUAL-W2 solution algorithms
Data requirements for calibration
Model calibration
Case studies
Computer sessions
The workshop will commence each day at 8 am and finish at 4 pm (except on Friday when we will conclude at noon). All participants will receive a certificate of completion and 34 PDH / 3.4 CEU credits.
Workshop details can be found here.
Remote Instruction
This year's CE-QUAL-W2 workshop will be conducted remotely from Monday, June 15th - Friday, June 19th, 2020.
- -All lectures will be on ZOOM
- -All users will be given access to a computer at Portland State University using Remote Desktop in a Windows Environment. You will be able to log on and use the example problems we have loaded onto the PCs. The model files will run on your own PC except for the post-processing scripts. We will be using a proprietary software package Tecplot for graphics and animations, hence the need to run the model on our computers. The scripts are tuned to each example problem and will run on your PC if you have Tecplot installed.
- -Pre-recorded videos of how to log into PSU, how to use the computer lab, and background for each example problem. The background includes a (1) an overview of each example problem and (2) an explanation on how to execute the model and run the post-processing software.
- -During all computer laboratories, Chris Berger and Scott Wells will be on Zoom to assist. We will use ‘Breakout Rooms’ to assist individuals and will allow you to share your screen so that we can assist.
