Lehrinhalte
Hydraulic engineering consists of the application of fluid mechanics to water flowing in an isolated environment (pipe, pump) or in an open channel (river, lake, ocean). The course primarily concerned with open channel flow, which is governed by the interdependent interaction between the water and the channel.
Learning outcomes:
Application of continuity, energy concept to open-channel flow, design of channels considering uniform flow and flow resistance, non-uniform flow, longitudinal profiles and calculation of water levels, design of channel controls and transitions
Examples and applications: river engineering, flood protection, hydropower use, inland navigation
Later applications include the design of hydraulic structures, such as flumes, sewage conduits, dams and breakwaters, the management of waterways, such as erosion protection and flood protection, and environmental management, such as prediction of the mixing and transport of pollutants in surface water. Hydroelectric-power development, water supply, irrigation and navigation are some familiar applications of water resources engineering involving the utilization of water for beneficial purposes.More recently, concern for preserving our natural environment and meeting the needs of developing countries has increased the importance of water resources engineering.
