Rafael Leclerc developed two core features for the flipoyo/MOLONARI1D repository, focusing on advancing hydraulic modeling through scientific computing. He created a Jupyter Notebook that non-dimensionalizes hydraulic equations, standardizing scales to improve both efficiency and accuracy in solving the hydraulic charge equation. Rafael also enhanced the discretization of hydraulic temperature equations by incorporating advection terms and implementing the Crank-Nicolson time-stepping scheme, which supports more precise parameter determination from temperature profiles. His work demonstrated depth in Python, numerical analysis, and mathematical modeling, resulting in sharper numerical stability and faster parameter estimation for more reliable hydraulic system design and analysis.
