Department: Department of Hydrodynamics and Water Resources
Aim: a) formulate the basic hydraulic equations and give an overview of flow types. Give an account of the background and application of pipe hydraulics
b) give the students a certain knowledge and routine to enable them to solve the hydraulic problems that most often occur in real life, such as calculation of channel flow, dimensioning of water supply pipes, sewer pipes, etc.
Contents: Elementary hydraulics deals with both liquids in rest (hydrostatics) and flowing media (e.g. water and air). The hydrostatics treats water pressure on plane and curved surfaces. The laws for flowing media are formulated in 3 equations: the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations are derived and used with a series of technical problems. The pipe hydraulics treats the movement of water in closed conduits, the prediction of loss of pressure and the hydraulic dimensioning of water pipes. The hydraulics of open channels deals with flow in partly filled pipes, canals and water courses, including special structures as weirs and venturi canals.
