Department of Hydraulics and Hydrology

Synopsis:

Physical properties of water. Hydrostatics - pressure in a gravitational field, applications of the Pascal's law (hydraulic jack), hydrostatic forces, loading of construction by liquids, buoyancy force. Basics of hydrodynamics - characteristics, regimes and types of water flow, hydraulic resistance, application of basic equations. Pressure flow in pipes - energy losses due to friction, minor losses, simple cases of pipe computations, pipe systems with pump, formation of a water hammer. Steady flow in open channels - uniform flow, hydraulic design of a channel, critical flow, longitudinal profiles of water level. Hydraulics of structures - outflow from an orifice and from a pipe system, flow through culverts and bridge openings. Forces due to water in motion. Water flow measurement. Groundwater flow - types, effects, filtration law, solving of a seepage.
