SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION
a. Course Description
The course deals with the study of hydraulic analysis and design and its application to hydraulics
structures such pipe network, pump, turbine, tank, reservoir, dam, spillway, levee, weir, flood gate,
open channel, among others. Specifically, it discusses the: different flow phenomena; conservation
laws governing in closed conduit flow, surcharge flow, and free surface flow (open channel); energy
loss due to friction and minor constrictions (bend, fittings, etc.) of closed conduit flow; flow resistance
due to friction of free surface flow; design procedures of hydraulics and flood control structures. It
also deals with scouring and erosion control and hydraulic modeling.
