Abstract
The course teaches the basics of hydromechanics, relevant for civil and environemental engineers.
Objective
In Hydraulics I the goal is for students to gain an intuition for the behavior of fluids in the diverse contexts relevant for civil and environmental engineers, to understand the equations governing steady fluid flows in these contexts and to learn to compute the velocities and forces associated with fluids.
Content
Properties of water, hydrostatics, stability of floating bodies, continuity, Euler equation of motion, Navier-Stokes equations, similarity, Bernoulli principle, momentum equation for finite volumes, ideal fluids and real fluids, boundary layer, pipe flow, open channel flow, flow measurements, demonstration experiments in the lecture hall
