COURSE SYNOPSIS:
Fundamental principles of hydraulics: continuity, energy and momentum. Open channel flows: uniform flow, gradually varied flow. Flow resistance. Mannings and Chezy’s equations. Application of the energy, momentum, and continuity equations in combination. Specific energy. Flow in conduits; classification of laminar and turbulent flows. Less inlets, bends, outlets etc. Application of continuity, energy and momentum to closed conduit flow. Pipe systems; reservoir/pipe combinations. Hardy cross-flow measurements.
