Course description and aims

This course focuses on the hydraulics, especially the its fundamental concept and physical laws. First, the basic equation to describe the fluid dynamics and continuous equation are derived and the several fundamental water flows with/without viscosity are introduced. After learn the surface wave on a water surface, the conservation laws of the energy and momentum are derived. Based on the conservation lows, the fundamental hydraulic phenomena are discussed.
In the human society of today, civil engineering is demanded to create and retain the safe and health water environments. The understanding of the water flow should provide a foundation to achieve the mission. By learning the fundamental physical law and basic phenomena of the water flow, you will be able to acquire a skill to understand the complex water flow and its effects in the actual water environment such as the river, lake and ocean.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
I. Describe the water flow using the basic equations and understand its physical meaning.
II. Understand the fundamental and important concepts and parameters to represent the water flow, and explain their physical meanings.
III. Understand the fundamental law of the surface wave of the water, and explain its physical features.
IV. Understand the energy and momentum conservation law for the water flow, and apply them to several fundamental cases of the water flow.
