Course detail
Flow in the open channels
FAST-BR52Acad. year: 2009/2010
Solution of the open channel hydraulics problems (uniform and nonuniform steady flow, unsteady flow, stability of the bottom and banks of the channel, pollution propagation), solution using nowadays software of open channel flow and advection-dispersion (HEC-RAS, MIKE11).
Software application, demonstration of case studies.
Hydraulic solution of the structures appearing on channels (bed drops, weirs, bridges, culverts).
