Hydraulics and Hydrology II
3
Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. explain deeply the theories and concepts of different types of flows;
2. discuss the principles of surface water hydrology for assessment and evaluation of floods;
3. explicate the techniques for collection, processing and analysis of hydrological data and
the application of catchment hydrological modelling and aquifer modelling techniques; and
4. demonstrate knowledge of the application of the principles of continuity and momentum
to pipe flow.
Course Outline
Laminar and Turbulent flows. Boundary layer separation lift and drag stream function, velocity
potential and application to flow nets. Steady and Unsteady flow in closed conduits. Principles
of surface water hydrology. Analysis of hydrological data. Land drainage and inland navigation
problems.
