Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| (1) To confer the competences necessary to understand and regulate fluid transport in pipe networks.
(2) To teach the principles governing open channel flow
After following this course, students should be able to
- Design and regulate pipe flow or open channel flow networks with/without reservoirs and hydraulic equipment such as pumps, valves, ...
- Compute the volume flow rate delivered by a channel as a function of its water depth.
- Identify and design modifications necessary to improve the fluid transport capacity of a channel.
- Calculate the evolution of water depth over the whole length of a channel.
