Institute of Water Structures (VST-VST)

The graduate obtains knowledge about the foundations of open-channel hydraulics and learns to use in solving problems of flow in river networks program HEC-RAS. The graduate is able to:
- explain basic concepts of open-channel hydraulics
- describe the fundamentals of fluid flow in channels
- anylyze a given problém
- apply knowledge of program HEC-RAS to the calculation of flow in the channel
- present the results of the individual assignment

Basic knowledge in the field of Water Management and Water Structures, basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, hydraulics and hydrology.

Fundamentals of mathematical modeling.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
The course is complemented by excursions and expert presentation.

Successful conclusion of the course requires the completion of exercises with the granting of credit from the course, compliance with computing and conceptual part of the written test and the actual examination.

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with principles of hydraulics of open channels. In this course solves water flow in open channels, ie consistently uniform and non-uniform flow, sediment movement. The content of the course is also hydraulic solution of buildings on watercourses such as weirs, bridges and culverts. For solving hydraulic task is used 1D Software HEC-RAS. The course includes specific examples of completed projects.



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.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

It is possible collaboration on research projects in the field of floodplain.
