Hydraulic Engineering

• Dimensional analysis and hydraulic models
• Application of continuity, momentum and energy principles
• Steady, closed conduit flow in single pipes and pipe networks
• Steady, open-channel flow under uniform and gradually varied conditions, control sections, hydraulic jumps, and energy dissipaters
• Hydraulic transients; surges and water hammer in closed conduits, surface waves in open channels
• Concepts and principles of turbo machinery, especially centrifugal pumps; similarity relations and cavitation; operation of pump-and-pipe systems
• Introductory concepts of hydraulic structures, including environmental aspects of hydraulic works and water quality management
