Course detail

Overview of rest and movement of newton type fluids and in addition of unnewton types fluid. Basic calculations of flow including pressure conditions of flow round (through) bodies. The course provides bases for other following specialized course of water management.

The student will be possible to solve the movement of newton type fluids and in addition of unnewton types fluid. Calculations of flow including pressure conditions of flow round (through) bodies. The aim of the course is providing bases for other following specialized course of water management.

Physics, mathematics, mechanics, earth materials mechanics, civil structures mechanics and statics

The course provides students with information on fluid behaviour an its influence on objects and equipment in both hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.
The course deals with determination of effects of water on plane and curved surface and information on floatation of bodies.
Findings about flow and motion of water in pipe pressure systems and in systems with free water surface (i.e. flow in natural and artificial open channels). Hydraulics of water structures.
Steady non-uniform and unsteady continuously changing flow in open channels and pipes, filling and emptying of non-prismatic reservoirs and lock chambers.
Shaft and lateral spillways, chutes, special types of hydraulic jump and design of stilling pools.
Basics of model similitude in fluid mechanics. Selected chapters of object hydraulics and pressure systems hydraulics.
Practical aspects of groundwater flow, principals of continuity and deterministic. Assumptions accepted for ground water flow solution, simple water intakes, simple models of flow trough a dam, solution of system of wells.
The findings are applied in computational and laboratory exercises.
