After a successful physical and mathematical modeling of water slalom course at the Olympic Games in Rio, experts from the Water Management Experimental Centre of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, led by prof. Ing. Jaroslav Pollert, PhD., were invited again to cooperate in solving the hydraulic and functional problems of the designed water slalom courses at Kasai Park for the Summer Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. Complete construction of the aquatic stadium should be operational in 2019.
The main objective of CTU's modelling is examination of the proposed water flow, placing obstacles in the slalom course to create all possible hydraulic phenomena, as well as compliance with safety regulations for competitors and public in future operations. All this in line with the strict parameters of the International Canoe Federation (ICF) for organizing top competitions in water slalom. A unique element at the end - the training oval, will be an integral part of the course. The experimental model is in 1:13 scale.
