Classroom and Meeting Time: Wednesday 18:00-20:45
Course Description: This course aims to develop the understanding of basic principles and concepts of analysis and design of hydraulic structures such as weirs and barrages, canal falls and various river training works. The course also intends to learn the detailed design principles of canal transitions and regulation works
Course Objectives: The main objective of this course is to learn hydraulic design of open channels, floodplain design, and flood routing in channels. Open Channel flow classifications, definitions, flow types; Open Channels and its properties, types, and geometries; Energy and momentum principles, specific energy, characteristics of critical flow, and its applications. Flow control and measurements, Uniform flow, Chezy and Manning equations. Transient flow hydraulics, gradually varied flow, rapidly varied flow.
