Please contact the School of Environment, Science and Engineering to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

This unit introduces students to applied aspects of fluid flow building upon the principles explained in the earlier unit of ENG30001 - Fluid Mechanics. It deals with the storage and flow of water in pipes and channels as well as natural streams and in aquifers. Principles necessary for hydraulic design of various types of structures and conduits are explained as well as methods of calculation. Topics include: continuity, energy and momentum principles in open channel flow; steady flow, gradually varied flow and rapidly varied flow in regular open channels; types of dams and spillways; water hammer in pipes; groundwater storage and flow including steady and unsteady flow to wells in confined and unconfined aquifers.
