Hydraulic Engineering 4 (U00420)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : EEL-4-CVHYE

In this course the student develops an ability to analyse complex hydraulic and sediment transport problems. The course relates theory to engineering practice. The emphasis of the course is in presenting a sound theoretical base from which practical applications in various aspects of hydraulic engineering and sediment transport can be made.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

The primary objectives of the course are:
- to review the principles of steady flow in open channels and in pipes;
- to introduce and develop the theories of unsteady flow in open channels and in pipes;
- to relate these theories to the practical solution of problems of river control and network flow;
- to introduce basic theories on sediment transport processes and the resulting morphological changes.
