Unit Description

This unit expands upon the material presented in the earlier units of ENG30001 - Fluid Mechanics and ENG40003 - Hydraulic Engineering. It deals with more complex and sophisticated applications of hydraulic principles to open channel flow situations and the analysis of hydraulic structures. Topics include: channel transitions — culverts, bridges and weirs; backwater analysis in irregular channels; fundamentals of wave theory in free surface flow; waves in open channels; ocean waves — theory, behaviour, analysis and impacts; detailed spillway analysis and design; energy dissipaters; sediment transport in streams.
