The student familiarizes with concepts and methods of engineering hydraulics, as applied to the design of hydraulic and flood control structures. Emphasis is given to the study of spatially varying open channel flow, by combining theoretical procedures with applicable regulations and concepts, on the basis of detailed examples and practical applications.
By the end of the course, the student has developed all necessary knowledge and skills to analyze some of the most interesting and challenging problems in hydraulic engineering and flood control, as well as the ability to participate in the analysis, design, and sizing of basic
elements and structures used in a variety of hydraulic works and large scale flood control structures.
