Channel Hydraulics
OBJECTIVE
Apply the fundamentals of fluid mechanics to the analysis and design of hydraulic engineering systems, including piping and pipe networks,
pumps, open channel flow, hydraulic jumps and gradually varied flow.
This course will be taught entirely in English, with 4 hours per week.
