Lesson hours
50 lesson hours
Prerequisites
Fundametals of calculus and mechanichs.
Fluid mechanich and basic hydraulics (pipe flows, open channel flows)
Learning outcomes
At the end of the Course, the student will acquire the fundamental theoretical concepts and mathematical tools for the analysis of relevant problems in the hydraulic engineering field, such as: filtration flows in porous media, transient flows (water hammer, flood waves), stationary hydrodynamic forces on surfaces, turbulent flows.
Course contents
Theory of turbulence: instability, turbulence scales, Reynolds averaged equations. Wall turbulence: velocity profiles. Applications to turbulent flows in pipes and open channels.
Hydrodynamic forces: drag, lift, hydrodynamic coefficients. Application of the global momentum equation to the evaluation of hydrodynamic forces.
Non-stationary hydraulic problems: water hammer, method of characteristics.
Filtration flows in porous media.
