Flow in the open channels
FAST-BR52Acad. year: 2016/2017
Solution of the open channel hydraulics problems (uniform and nonuniform steady flow, unsteady flow, stability of the bottom and banks of the channel), solution using software of open channel flow HEC-RAS.
Software application, demonstration of case studies.
Hydraulic solution of the structures appearing on channels (bed drops, weirs, bridges, culverts).
