Course Contents
The module "[b]Hydraulic Engineering[/b]" provides an insight into the relevant hydromechanical and hydraulic engineering principles that are important for sustainable urban, spatial and infrastructure development. The following topics are covered:

Theoretical basics
[list]
[*]    Water properties (density, viscosity, compressibility)
[*]    Hydrodynamic basics (flow characteristics, parameters, continuity approach)
[*]    Channel hydraulic basics (flow formula and shear stress)
[*]    Hydromorphological basics (erosion, sedimentation, transport of solids in water bodies)
[/list]


Practical applications
[list]
[*]    Flood protection
[*]    Watercourse development, renaturation
[*]    Hydropower utilisation
[*]    Inland navigation and hydraulic engineering
[/list]


Project work in small groups
[list]
[*]    Group work tasks adapted to current hydraulic engineering topics
[/list]



 

Literature
For each course unit, PDF slide copies are offered for download and supplementary literature recommendations are provided. Some course units are supported by screencasts.
