Course details
Hydraulics introduces the analysis of hydrostatic and buoyancy effects and analysis of flow pipe systems and in open channels. Students use knowledge of fundamental properties of fluids to analyse problems involving static and moving fluids. They analyse and design pipe systems and networks, and open channels and related hydraulic structures. The course presents methods for calculating energy and surface profiles in open channel flow, the operation and selection of pumps and turbines, and the use of similitude principles for modelling hydraulic effects. It requires students to learn to work autonomously and emphasises the importance of clear, professional documentation of the approach taken in analysis of hydraulics problems.
Distance education (FLEX) students are required to have access to a computer and to make frequent use of the Internet.
