Introduction To Hydraulics

This document outlines the aims and course content for a hydraulics engineering course. The aims include developing a solid understanding of open channel flow, hydraulic modeling, sediment transport, dams and forces acting on them, and unsteady flow equations. The course content covers topics such as steady open channel flow, unsteady flow, dams, water power engineering, and sediment transport. Evaluation methods include exams, quizzes, presentations, and lab reports. Hydraulics engineering applies fluid mechanics principles to water structures and facilities for water conveyance, storage, drainage, and treatment.

Hydraulics Engineering
The term „hydraulics‟ is related to the application of the Fluid
Mechanics principles to water engineering structures, civil and
environmental engineering facilities, especially hydraulic structures
(e.g. canal, river, dam, reservoir and water treatment plant) [1].

Definition
 Branch of Civil Engineering concerned with the flow and
conveyance of the fluid, especially water. [Wikipedia]

Highly related to design of bridges, dams, canals, levees, water


supply system, sanitation, irrigation system
