Course Objectives
- This course deals with topics in the flow of water through open channels
- Acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for applying hydraulic models to analyze and predict open channel flow behavior. This includes the study of various flow regimes, such as uniform flow, gradually varied flow, and rapidly varied flow.
- Learn to design and manage open channels effectively by applying principles of hydraulic engineering.
- Understanding the application of fluid mechanics principles for practical problems
Course Outcomes
