Abstract
This course is an introduction to hydraulics and hydrology with applications in civil engineering technology. The first part of the course covers the principles of fluid mechanics, focusing on water as the fluid. Applications such as pressures on conduits and submerged surfaces, flow in pipes and open channels, and flow measurement techniques are explored from study of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, and open channels hydraulics. The second part of the course covers the study of fundamental hydrology and its application to perform runoff calculations using the rational method to determine peak discharges for storm sewer design.
