In Civil Engineering Hydraulics, the understanding of fluid properties and behavior in different civil engineering applications, such as flow of water through canals for irrigation, hydraulic structure and the application of pump and turbine are of importance. This course introduces students to the application of principles of fluid mechanics in civil, water and environmental engineering, especially hydraulic structures such as channel and weir. Scopes of study include introduction to open channel flow, uniform and non-uniform flows in open channel, specific energy and control section, and hydraulic structures and machinery.
Goals
The student should know how to apply theories of hydraulics, methods and application of hydraulic designs either experimentally or in actual situation.
Learning Outcomes
In Civil Engineering Hydraulics, the understanding of fluid properties and behavior in different civil engineering applications, such as flow of water through canals for irrigation, hydraulic structure and the application of pump and turbine are of importance. This course introduces students to the application of principles of fluid mechanics in civil, water and environmental engineering, especially hydraulic structures such as channel and weir. Scopes of study include introduction to open channel flow, uniform and non-uniform flows in open channel, specific energy and control section, and hydraulic structures and machinery.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Analyze the concept of uniform and non-uniform flows in open channel, hydraulic structure and machinery (C4, PLO4).
2. Discuss technically the given open channel hydraulics problems (P3, PLO2).
3. Respond in group effectively in solving uniform and non-uniform flows problems (A3, PLO5).
