Course Description
Properties of fluids; Fluid statics; Fluid in motion and the conservation of mass; Pressure variation in flows; Momentum and energy principles; Dimensional analysis and similitude; Application in civil engineering: pipe flow, pipe networks, and open channel analysis.
Intended Learning Outcomes
CILO-1: To prepare the students with the ability to apply the fundamental principles of mathematics to the modeling and analysis of fluid flow problems in civil and environmental engineering. [POs: a, b, e]
CILO-2: To develop students with the ability to describe the behavior of the dynamics of fluids, conduct experiments (in teams) in pipe flows and open-channel flows, and interpret data from model studies to prototype cases, as well as documenting them in engineering reports. [POs: a,b,d,g,k]
CILO-3: To prepare the students with the ability to identify or become aware of disasters caused by incorrect analysis in hydraulic engineering systems. [POs: a,e]
