About the course
Course content
The course covers the basics in hydraulics of open channel flow, hydraulic design of energy dissipation structures, spillways and outlets, turbines and surge tanks, hydraulic steel works and pipe hydraulics. In addition gives the course an introduction to fluvial sediment transport.
Learning outcome
The course is offered in English to the students in the first year in the MSc programme Hydropower Development and fourth year of the siv.ing. studies in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The course provides basic knowledge of equations for calculations of water flow in rivers around hydraulic structures. The students shall be able to plan and design hydraulic structures and waterways of a hydropower plant based on the content of the course.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises are to a large extent integrated. All lectures and exercises are given in English. Exercises are supplemented with examples in the hydraulic laboratory. The examination form may be changed from written to oral in case of a re-sit examination.
