Flow in the open channels

FAST-BR52Acad. year: 2009/2010

Solution of the open channel hydraulics problems (uniform and nonuniform steady flow, unsteady flow, stability of the bottom and banks of the channel, pollution propagation), solution using nowadays software of open channel flow and advection-dispersion (HEC-RAS, MIKE11).
Software application, demonstration of case studies.
Hydraulic solution of the structures appearing on channels (bed drops, weirs, bridges, culverts).

Aims

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with principles of hydraulics of open channels. The students will obtain knowledge about nonuniform steady flow and unsteady flow, about transport and dispersion of conservative component in rivers and about transport of sediment.
