Course content

Basic fluid mechanics: hydrostatics, water continuity, momentum equation, Bernoulli's equation, Energy equation, Navier-Stokes equation, pipe and channel flow, singular and friction losses, Manning+Chezy's equations, Darcy-Weissbachs equation, Moody's diagram, drag and lift, linear wave theory etc.

Learning outcome

Knowledge The student shall have the knowledge about

  • how basic equations for fluid flow can be derived, which equations can be used to solve practical problems in different flow situations, typical hydraulic situations for constructions of hydropower plants, river protection structures, water supply plants, ports and fixed marine structures.
  • the student will know how laboratory and numerical models can describe complext flow fields.

Skills The student should be able to

  • compute singular losses in pipe systems; to find effects of hydropower plants and necessary pump capacities, hydraulic jumps, spillway capacities, hydrostatic forces on submerged structures and gates, movement of waves in water according to linear wave theory and wave forces on cylindrical structures.
  • manage how to compute hydrostatic forces on floating structures with varying load.

General competance

  • The student will manage to see the connection between basic equations and solution of practical flow problems, and know which problems can be computed with simplified approaches and which cases that need more knowledge.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, compulsory homework and labwork. Voluntary web based excercises.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercises

Further on evaluation

In case of a re sit exam, written exam may be changed into oral.

Specific conditions

Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.

Required previous knowledge

The course is taught in Norwegian, so the students have to know this language.

Course materials

Class notes in Norwegian, written by Geir Moe. Class notes in Norwegian, written by Nils Reidar Olsen. The book "Engineering Fluid Mechanics", 9/10. ed, 2010/2014 by Elger, Williams, Crowe, Roberson.
