Course curriculum
1. Introduction to Open Channel Hydraulics.
2. Continuity equation.
3-4. Momentum equations.
5-6. Transport and dispersion of component in rivers.
7-8. Numerical solutions.
8-10. Example - Nonuniform flow.
11-12. Example - Unsteady flow.
13. Example - Transport and dispersion of component in rivers.
Aims
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with principles of hydraulics of open channels. 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.
