Open Channel Flow
Description
This course is focused on the principles of open channel flow, including: open channel flow classifications; energy and momentum principles; critical flow; uniform, gradually varied, and rapidly varied flow; unsteady flow; and flood routing. Students will learn the theory required to analyze and solve open channel flow problems, and will gain experience modelling open channel flows using industry standard software.Learning Outcomes
Acquire fundamental knowledge of open channel hydraulics including uniform flow, gradually varied flow, rapidly varied flow, unsteady flow, and flood routingAnalyse and solve theoretical open channel flow problems
Understand fundamental open channel flow principles and apply them to solving practical issues
Understand and apply best practices for modelling open channel flows
