Civil Engineering Hydraulics Laboratory

Catalog description

Laboratory experiments are conducted that illustrate the fundamentals of hydraulics including pipes under pressure (water mains and networks), and open channel flow (sewers, drains, and channel sections). The fundamental concepts of energy, momentum and continuity will be discussed. Topics covered include but are not limited to fluid statics, orifice and free jet flow, hydrostatic pressure, flow over weirs, energy loss in pipes and bends, and critical, subcritical and supercritical flow. Lab report writing, measurement and error analysis.
