Hydromechanics III

  Copyright: © IWW

Course description

Students acquire an in-depth knowledge of hydromechanics and are familiarised with the methods for deriving analytical solutions for special hydromechanical cases. Particular importance is attached to encouraging students to solve special hydromechanical tasks on their own. The class covers the general flow equations, surge and water hammer theory, groundwater flow and material transport as well as wave theories.

Course content

• general flow equations
• water hammer
• upsurge and downsurge theory
• wave theory & transformation
• groundwater flow
• material transport
