GROUNDWATER HYDRAULICS
Teaching Objectives:
The main objective is to lay the theoretical and experimental foundations and discuss the different hypotheses leading to the fundamental equations governing underground flows.
Introduction:
The flow of fluids through porous media is governed by the laws of physics. So we can write it using differential equations. Since the flow is a function of several variables, it is written by partial differential equations in which the spatial coordinates x, y, z and the time t are the independent variables. Darcy's law is a law of behavior but it cannot be used to completely write the flow of groundwater. This description is obtained by applying the principle of conservation of mass to the flow of groundwater and using the law of behaviour.

This course focuses on the law of conservation of mass, or principle of continuity, which states that any change in the mass flowing into a small volume element of the aquifer must be offset by a corresponding change in the mass flowing out of the volume, or a change in the mass contained within the volume, or both. The law of conservation of energy is also known as the first law of thermodynamics. It states that in a closed system, there is a constant quantity of energy that cannot be lost or increased.
