Credit: 2 CPD

Length: 34 pages

Hydraulic engineering is the application of fluid mechanics principles to problems dealing with the collection, storage, control, transport, regulation, measurement, and use of water.

This course provides step-by-step procedures to help you understand and solve hydraulic problems. The course covers dimensional analysis and hydraulic models, application of continuity and momentum principles to pipe and open channel flow and steady, open-channel flow under uniform, rapidly and gradually varied conditions.

Numerous sample problems are presented and solved to aid in your understanding of the material.
