Course contents :
|
| This course goes deeper into the notions of the elements of fluid mechanics, by applying them to applications in civil engineering.
- It specifies the basis of hydrology that are necessary for urban hydraulics.
- It deals with flows in a saturated porous environment in laminar conditions, with or without a free surface.
- It deals with the analysis and calculation of steady and transient flows in networks under pressure, ramified and meshed.
- It develops theoretical and practical features on hydraulic pumps and turbines to be designed for complex networks.
- It deals with serious transient aspects in networks under pressure, taking into account the deformability of the pipes and the compressibility of the water (water hammer).
- It generalizes the approach of potential flows.

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Complementary course on fluid mechanics. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Elements of fluid mechanics course. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Guided exercises leading to the handling in short individual reports at the end of the daily session, and more detailed group reports at the end of several thematic sessions. Oral presentations of their results will be done by the students. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course is made of sessions with a theoretical ex-cathedra lecture and a practical session consisting in guided exercises and the redaction of a short individual report.
All sessions are given at the Sart-Tilman |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The assessment is based on two distinguished parts.
- 1. A written exam, with a theoretical part (2 hours) and a practical part (2 hours) that counts for 70% of the global mark. The theoretical part (open questions) is organized without any support, while the practical examination can be solved using the course support.
- 2. The assessment of the reports counts for 30% of the global mark.
