CREDIT HOURS: 3
Fluid mechanics principles are applied to practical hydraulic problems involving flow in closed conduits and in open channels. Topics in pipe flow include losses in pipes, pipes in series and parallel, and network analysis. Topics in open channel flow deal with classification of flows, open channels and their properties, energy and momentum principles, uniform flow, design of erodible and non-erodible channels, and gradually varied flow. These aspects are explained in lectures and validated by laboratory measurements and demonstrations.
