Title:Coupled Hydrology Hydraulic Modeling System: Development and Application  
Speaker: Dr. Lian YanQing (University of Illinois at Urbana-champaign, UIUC)
Time: Friday, April 14, 2017, 02:30-05:30 p.m.
Venue: Lecture Hall 201, Building No.7, Wushan Campus

Contents: This lecture will introduce the principle, theoretical model and development of Coupled Hydrology Hydraulic Modeling System (CHHMS). CHHMS is a comprehensive and developed software used to simulate the coupled hydrology hydraulic model, proposed by Dr. Lian et al. CHHMS is capable of processing and displaying data, and applied in coupled hydrology hydraulic simulation, farmland water resource evaluation, underground water transfer and improvement simulation and river ecology recovery. CHHMS system has been used to simulate the process and mechanism of surface and underground water coupling in Calumet nunja, south Chicago, and farmland culvert drainage system in Illinois, and multi scale typical karst water system in southwest China. In this lecture, the principle and application of numerical model, and the development of GIS and its GUI will be introduced in detail.

Introduction of the speaker: Dr. Lian got his bachelor diploma in 1984 and his master diploma in 1987, in China University of Geosciences (WuHan). And he studied in UIUC in 1993 and got the master and PhD diploma of the civil engineering and environment department. Dr. Lian is the advanced research fellow of water resource study center in UIUC, the fellow of Ministry of Land and Resources Stony Desertification Study Profession Committee. And Dr. Lian was the chairman of American Chinese Water Resource Association. He published more than 50 papers on SCI, and is the reviewer of a number of SCI journals, such as Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Hydrologic Processes, ASCE Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, ASCE Journal of Hydrologic Engineering. The main research directions of Dr. Lian are the surface and underground water coupling model, the in-time model of flood hazard, numerical simulation in watershed scale of hydrology and hydraulic, and the transfer of sediments, and the hydraulic simulation of big river system, aimed to manage the water resource and prevent the flood hazard.
