Learning Outcomes : • Use of methods for solving project design problems • Use of logic and methods for managing infrastructure projects • Intuitive selection of parameters based on ""engineering perception"" • Understanding the selection of appropriate materials for each design problem • Evaluation of flow types, control and classification.
The course includes concepts and methodological tools for the analysis and design of hydraulic structures ofclosed pipelines and open channels. The following items are included:
• Introduction to real fluids, viscosity and shear stress. Flow Classification and Reynolds Number (Reynolds Device).
• Flow in closed pipelines: Steady laminar flow inside a pipe. Boundary layer theory. Turbulent flow. Friction factor and semi-empirical Darcy-Weisbach equation. Colebrook-White equation. Linear and local losses. Moody chart. Closed pipeline systems. Calculation of pump pressure head. Introduction to distribution networks.
• Flow in open channels: Total and Specific Energy in open channels. Critical, supercritical, subcritical flow. Velocity distribution in cross-sections of open channels. Manning equation. Equations St. Venant. Flow control points. Uniform and non-uniform flow in open channels. Hydraulic jump. Control structures. Spillways.
